Scrap metal and metal items
Special rules applyThe only metal the City names on a route is the aluminum drink can in the recycling stream and the appliance group the Street Division collects, so loose scrap metal has to be confirmed.
- City cost & eligibility
- No city scrap metal collection or rate is published, so call the Street Division on 423-975-2700 and describe the item to find out whether it travels as an appliance on a scheduled pickup or needs a private scrap dealer.
- When & how
- Call the Street Division at 423-975-2700 before moving a large metal item, and use the recycling drop-off only for aluminum drink cans.
- Get it ready
- Drain any fuel or oil, remove glass, plastic and non-metal parts, and keep the item out of the garbage cart and off the curb until a route is confirmed. Keep aluminum drink cans separate for the recycling drop-off and do not mix loose metal with household garbage.
The handoff matters

Right place.
For a furniture or appliance appointment
Furniture and appliance pickups are scheduled by phone with the Street Division on 423-975-2700 and are separate from the weekly cart collection. Empty the appliance, secure or remove the doors, and place the items where the division directs rather than beside the cart.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Johnson City.
How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?
Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.
Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?
This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.
How much does scrap metal removal cost?
This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.
Can you collect it today?
Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.
Where does scrap metal go in Johnson City?
There is no published city scrap metal collection. The City names aluminum drink cans in the recycling stream and collects appliances through a Street Division appointment on 423-975-2700, so call that number with a description of the metal item to find out whether it can be scheduled or has to go to a private scrap dealer.Official guidance
What does it cost to remove a large item in Johnson City?
Solid Waste billing is set up with water service, so household garbage appears on that account, and an additional cart is bought outright with a yearly decal rather than rented. Furniture and appliance pickups are scheduled by phone with the Street Division, which quotes the arrangement, and the county sites that take building material and overflow set their own rates.Official guidance
Who handles Johnson City waste and where is the county involved?
Johnson City collects household garbage, recycling and brush with its own crews, with the cart, recycling drop-offs and electronics handled by Solid Waste Services on 423-975-2792 and furniture, appliance and brush work handled by the Street Department on 423-975-2700. Washington County operates the wider disposal sites, which is why building material and overflow loads are referred to the county convenience center and the Iris Glen Environmental Center.Official guidance
Where can I take something the city cart will not collect?
Electronics go to the E-Waste receptacle at 91 New Street on weekdays, and furniture or appliances are scheduled with the Street Division rather than dropped off. Building material, carpet and overflow that is the household's own responsibility go to the Washington County Convenience Center or the Iris Glen Environmental Center, and loose scrap metal has no published city route, so call 423-975-2700 with a description before moving it.Official guidance
