Questions

Where is the Knoxville West Recycling Drop-off Center?

At 341 Parkvillage Road in Cedar Bluff. The city’s other three centers are North at the Goodwill store, 5412 Pleasant Ridge Road; South on Chapman Highway, 225 W. Moody Avenue; and East by Chilhowee Park, 210 Alice Street.

Does the Knoxville West Recycling Drop-off Center take plastics 3 through 7?

No. The city accepts only containers marked 1 and 2, with their caps attached, and sends readers to the “Is Everything In My Bin Really Recycled?” section of its recycling homepage for numbers 3 to 7.

Where else can I recycle glass if the Knoxville West Recycling Drop-off Center is out of the way?

At any of the other three city centers or UT’s Recycling Center. City residents may also use the seven Knox County convenience centers for other recycling, but those do not take glass, and neither does the curbside cart.
