Recycling in Crossville: A Local Guide
Crossville, the seat of Cumberland County in Tennessee's Upper Cumberland region, is served by two Cumberland County Solid Waste Management drop-off facilities for garbage and recyclables. Both sites accept common household recyclables and bulky items, giving residents flexible options whether they live in the city or in the rural stretches of the county.
The Vandever Convenience Center on Vandever Road is a staffed county convenience center where residents can drop off bagged household garbage alongside recyclables including cardboard, newspaper, scrap metal, aluminum and metal cans, #1 and #2 plastics, glass (clear, brown, and green), textiles, home appliances, rechargeable batteries, waste oil, and automobile tires. It is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 6 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from noon to 5 PM — and closed every Wednesday.
The Crossville Refuse / Recycling Center at 96 Maryetta Street operates as the main public recycling and refuse drop-off in the city itself. It accepts cardboard, paper, glass, plastic, aluminum and metal cans, scrap metal, appliances, batteries, used motor oil, tires, and bulky household junk. Reported hours are Monday through Saturday 7 AM to 5 PM and Sunday noon to 5 PM. Both facilities share the Cumberland County Solid Waste phone line at (931) 484-9328.
For household hazardous waste — paint, chemicals, and similar materials — Cumberland County periodically participates in Tennessee's mobile HHW collection events, which are separate from these everyday convenience-center drop-offs. Check with Cumberland County Solid Waste for the next scheduled event.
