Spring into action: Join Solid Waste for a citywide spring cleaning event
The Johnson City Public Works Department is offering several additional ways to dispose of unwanted items during the month of May as part of a community-wide spring cleaning event.
"Join us in a citywide cleanup to declutter our homes, clear out our basements and freshen up our yards,” said Solid Waste Assistant Manager Johnny Isaacs. “With your help and these extra City resources, we can create a cleaner, greener city."
Public Works Solid Waste will provide two drop-off sites for residents to deposit trash and bulk material on Saturday, May 11 between 7 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. To drop-off your items, bring them to the following locations:
- Indian Trail Middle School, 307 Car-Mol Drive (entrance off Car-Mol Drive in the parking lot closest to the building)
- Science Hill High School, 1509 John Exum Parkway (just off Liberty Bell Boulevard in parking lot I)
Acceptable items include building materials, e-waste, metal for recycling, and bulk items. No paints, tires, herbicides, insecticides or hazardous materials including paint thinners will be accepted. Assistance with unloading will be available.
This is a service for Washington County residents only.
In addition to the drop-off sites, the City will provide more opportunities for bulk item and brush collection pickup from Monday, May 6 to Friday, May 17. Residents can expect to have one round of bulk item and brush collection curbside pickup during this timeframe.
This service is for residents within the city limits.
Place your bulk items (e.g., furniture, mattresses) or brush (e.g., tree trimmings, vines, shrubbery without roots, limbs) at the curb by Monday, May 6. Items left in the roadways or alleyways, near guy wires, fence posts, trees, vehicles, or poles will not be collected. Brush may not contain leaves, grass, or other debris. If it is mixed with any other items, it cannot be collected until properly sorted.
