What it takes
Sullivan County’s other transfer station takes the same items.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
Sullivan County rules
- Both transfer stations take household garbage, mixed paper, magazines, cardboard, aluminum and tin cans, propane tanks, appliances, mixed metals, electronics (computers, keyboards, games, and televisions), sofas, chairs, mattresses, box springs, bathroom fixtures, and car tires. Used oil, antifreeze, batteries, household fluorescent bulbs, and oil-based paint are accepted as space allows.
- Latex paint must be completely dry. Then it can go in with your regular household garbage.
- Nine recycling drop sites, at schools, Food City in Piney Flats, the Kingsport Civic Auditorium, and other spots around the county, take mixed paper, magazines, cardboard, and aluminum and tin cans. The Solid Waste Department’s information sheet lists them.
