The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Bulky furniture and do it yourself demolition material
Accepted with preparation
The convenience centers take bulky construction and demolition material from a resident's own project, collected separately from household trash in heavier duty brown compactors and disposed of at construction and demolition landfills. The county names mattresses, box springs, couches, furniture, tables, carpet pieces, doors, drywall, glass, insulation, mirrors, plaster, sinks, sheetrock, tile, toilets and windows on the accepted list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No fee for a Knox County resident bringing their own bulky material from their own property, within one standard pickup load per household per day. Material from a business, a contractor or a commercial generator is not accepted at all, and a load above the daily limit is turned away.
When & how
Bring the load during center hours, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and expect the operators to inspect it before it goes into the bulky compactor.
Get it ready
Cut carpet into small pieces, bag insulation, plaster and tile for easier disposal, and wear gloves when handling glass, mirrors, sinks, toilets or windows because the centers are self service. Leave block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone and shingles at home, because those are refused as too heavy or too slow to unload, and leave greenwaste for a greenwaste facility. Pieces longer than five feet, railroad ties and anything from outside Knox County are also refused.
Load the vehicle with one standard pickup load per household per day and bring proof of Knox County residency, because a load from outside the county is refused. Separate the material before arrival: household garbage, recyclables, scrap metal, the brown bulky compactor, electronics and the tire pile all have their own place, and the operators inspect loads and turn away anything that does not belong. The centers are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Wednesday, Sunday and holidays.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Arrange it
Load one pickup load, bring proof of residency, and drive to the nearest of the seven centers during posted hours, separated by material type.
The daily load limit, the Wednesday and Sunday and holiday closures, the bulky material refusals including block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone, shingles, railroad ties and pieces longer than five feet, and the refusal of refrigerant containing devices all apply.
Seven county convenience centers for household waste, bulky material, recycling, scrap metal, electronics and tires
Knox County Convenience Centers

Four centers have the thrift store electronics area, which takes only gently used items in good working condition, and the accepted battery and electronics lists can change, so the posted sign governs.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Wednesday, Sunday and holidays, with gates closing promptly and possible early closings for weather, outages or full containers.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Knoxville.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Knoxville?+
Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Knoxville?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
What bulky material will a Knox County center take?+
Box springs, mattresses, couches, furniture, tables, carpet pieces cut small, doors, drywall, sheetrock, glass pieces and sheets, insulation, mirrors, plaster, sinks, tile, toilets, windows and other non hazardous material, up to one standard pickup load per household per day from the resident's own property. Block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone, shingles, railroad ties, greenwaste and pieces longer than five feet are refused, along with anything from a business, a contractor or outside Knox County.Official guidance
How much can I bring to a center in one day?+
One standard pickup load per household per day for non recyclable waste, and the county states that heaping loads and very large trailers will be turned away. Recycling is not limited, so a household may drop off as much recycling as it wishes. If a load is larger than the daily limit, the county directs the household to dispose of it the way a commercial generator does, which means a fee charging facility.Official guidance
What does it cost to use the Knox County centers?+
Nothing for a Knox County resident bringing their own residential waste and recycling, because the county states there are no fees to use the convenience centers and that recycling is unlimited. Non recyclable household waste is limited to one standard pickup load per household per day. The routes that can cost money are a refrigerant containing device, which the centers refuse and which the county sends to a scrap metal company, to the city transfer station on Elm Street where a small fee applies, or to a clean out company, and household hazardous waste, whose facility the county says the city operates without publishing its fees.Official guidance
What will the Knox County centers not take?+
Business, contractor, rental property and commercial generator material, any load above one standard pickup per household per day, block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone and shingles because they are too heavy or slow to unload, greenwaste which has to go to a greenwaste facility, boards or pieces longer than five feet, railroad ties, and waste from outside Knox County without a Knox plate or proof of residency. A device that contained refrigerant is refused too, and televisions are not recycled there because the county directs them into the blue trash containers.Official guidance
