What this center takes and what it does not
Two attended services set John Sevier apart from four of the seven county centers: an America’s Thrift Store electronics drop-off and a donation center for clothing and reusable goods such as furniture, toys, kitchen appliances and tools. Only Halls and Karns share them. Carpet goes into its own recycling container, which Carter and Dutchtown do not have.
The rest of the list: bagged household trash, bulky items and do-it-yourself demolition materials, plastics 1 and 2, mixed paper, cardboard, cans, scrap metal, tires, car and motorcycle batteries, used oil and other auto fluids, cooking oil, fluorescent bulbs and one propane tank a year.
Not accepted: glass bottles and jars, green waste, liquid paint, appliances containing refrigerant, shingles, brick, block, concrete and commercial waste.
