Trash Cans for Residential Customers

Photo of new garbage can delivery
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.

    Trash Can Repair Request Form

    You can request a can repair by completing this form. Place the can in your yard (not at curb) for pickup. Can should be repaired within 5 business days. Repair and maintenance will be provided at no cost (your maintenance fee pays for this.)

About This Service

​The process for picking up bulk and brush in the City provides a convenient way to dispose of brush and junk for residents. However, the process may have some drawbacks.
​
Brush pickup equipment is not surgically precise. The equipment in service since 2011 has a larger bucket than previously used. The larger bucket was required due to the increase in materials and the need for a more efficient tool. The larger bucket is heavy and yard scraping is often unavoidable. This can be especially dependent on factors such as slope, proximity to the ditch, if the ground is wet, and if the material is scattered/not stacked properly, or if there are a lot of small pieces. While using the service can result in yard scraping, the crews attempt to keep scraping to a minimum. If it appears the ground has been damaged significantly, contact us at 273-3302. If there is significant damage, crews will repair and reseed the area.
Junk and Brush Curbside Service
The City’s junk and brush pickup cycle is divided into four operational zones: Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow. Use the chart to determine your placement days according to your zone. For more information about our junk and brush collection procedures, visit Maryvillegov.com/…
​
General Requirements:
  • Junk and brush piles must be within twelve (12) feet of the curb.
  • Do not place junk and brush that will create a sight block for traffic.
  • Do not place junk and brush in the roadway or in ditches which can block stormwater flow.
  • Do not place junk and brush near electrical boxes, water meter 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 twelve (12) tires per year per location.
Junk Requirements:
  • Boxes should be empty and flattened out. Separate styrofoam or other packing materials from the flattened boxes. Don’t want to send cardboard to the landfill? Consider taking flattened cardboard boxes to one of the recycling centers. 
  • Always separate brush from household junk. Why? Brush can be recycled in a more environmentally-friendly process at a much lower cost than household or construction waste. However, if it is mixed together, it all must go to the landfill.
  • Junk should be contained in bags or boxes so that it is not scattered and does not blow away.
  • We will pick up appliances.
Items that are not picked up curbside include:
  • Construction, remodeling, and/or building materials - please contact the City for information on construction waste disposal.
  • Chemical hazardous waste (liquid paint and other chemicals) - please contact Keep Blount Beautiful to learn about hazardous waste disposal.
  • Rock, concrete, bricks or dirt.
Brush Requirements:
  • Uprooted trees may require you to hire someone to move the root ball to the curb.
  • When the stump is moved to the curb, request the dirt around the root ball be dislodged by dropping it or shaking it with the heavy equipment. Dirt is heavy and adds significant cost when sent to the landfill. The root ball may be too heavy for the truck to pick up if the dirt has not been removed.
  • Tree trunks and limbs can be no longer than twelve (12) feet to fit within the truck bed.
  • The City’s knuckle boom equipment has a maximum lift of 1500 pounds. Anything heavier than this will require alternate arrangements by the resident.
