Trash Cans for Residential Customers
|
Get a can: Each can has a one-time maintenance fee of $70. To order a new can, contact Customer Service | 865-273-3456.
Get an extra can: If one can is not enough for your household waste, a second one can be ordered through Customer Service. Second cans may be relocated to a new address if the homeowner moves inside the Maryville City limits. However, you must contact the Sanitation Department | 865-273-3302 to officially transfer the can. Transferred Ownership: Cans are associated with addresses. When a home is sold, the can should remain with the home. No other action needs to be taken. If the can was taken from the address, a new account will need to be set up following the directions above. New Construction: Contractors/ builders typically pay for new cans with their permit fees. Trash cans are delivered to new homes after occupancy begins - cans are not delivered until occupancy to prevent theft/ vandalism. Call 273-3302 to verify your can has been paid for. If not, you can pay for it by following the directions above. |
Missing or Stolen Can: Contact us at 865-273-3302. Cans are marked with serial numbers and assigned to specific addresses. Crews will investigate and the Superintendent will contact you if the can is located. Replacement cans must be paid for by following the directions above.

New Can Replacement Program
The City is replacing its old-style garbage cans with new ones. If you notice neighbors with new cans, it may take up to three weeks to replace all cans in your area. Leave your can out until 2 p.m. on pick-up day if you notice your area's cans being replaced.

Trash CollectionAutomated Trash Pickup
The City uses automated python trucks to collect trash in most areas. These units offer a safer working environment for employees and efficient operations using just one crew member per unit. It also allows us to use the extra manpower for other sanitation efforts including can repair and junk/ brush pickup. In order to be served by the automated trucks, residents must observe the following placement information:
|
- Place garbage can at least 3 feet from any tree, pole, mailbox, other can, etc. If possible place can on opposite side of drive from mailbox.
- Place can at least 10 feet away from any parked automobiles.
- Can must be within 3 feet of the street edge.
- Can lid must be closed completely.
- The Sanitation Department will only pick up the can assigned to your residence. No other bags, cans or containers will be picked up.
- Cans must be at street by 6 a.m. on pickup day.
- Do not stack anything on top of or around the cans.
- Multiple cans must be spaced 3 feet apart.
- Per city ordinance: All garbage must be placed in plastic bags suitable for garbage and securely tied. Bags must be of adequate quality.
Junk and Brush CollectionThe City provides curbside pickup of household junk and brush on a monthly basis.
Placement time: Place junk/ brush items one day before the zone collection begins. If items are not placed at the curb before the truck comes through, it will not be picked up and the items will need to be removed until the following month. City ordinance requires junk cannot be placed at the curb more than three days before the zone collection begins. 2017 Brush/ Junk Zone Collection Calendar
For junk/brush pickup, the City is divided into four operational zones BLUE, GREEN, RED, and YELLOW and pickup occurs every month. To find your zone's junk/brush pickup week, click the link above |

Junk and Brush Curbside Placement Requirements
- Items not picked up at curbside are: construction, remodeling, building materials, chemical hazardous waste (liquid paint and other chemicals).
- Boxes should be empty and flattened out.
- Residents should always separate brush from household junk. “Clean wood” or wood that is not contaminated with household or construction waste can be sent to recycling at a lower cost. If items are mixed with brush, it all has to go to the landfill.
- During or after storms, trees may be uprooted. Residents who contract to have the stumps moved to the curb should request the stump be cleaned of the dirt around the root ball. This can be done by shaking or dropping the stump to dislodge dirt. Dirt is heavy and adds significant cost when sent to the landfill. In some cases, the root ball may be too heavy for the truck to pick up if the dirt has not been removed.
- Our knuckle boom equipment has a maximum lift of 1500 pounds. Anything heavier than this will require alternate arrangements by the resident.
- Tree trunks and limbs can be no longer than 12’ (twelve feet) to fit within the truck bed.
- Junk and brush piles must be within 12’ (twelve feet) of the curb for the truck to reach.
- Ensure junk and brush placement does not create a sight block for traffic.
- Ensure junk and brush is not in the roadway or in ditches which can block stormwater flow.
- Do not place junk and brush near electrical boxes, phone boxes, fire hydrants, and power poles.
- Tires (removed from rims/wheels) may be placed at the curb in a separate pile. No more than four (4) tires at one time, and no more than 12 tires per year per location.
