Recycling in Maryville: A Local Guide
Maryville, Tennessee serves its residents through three separate recycling facilities that divide responsibilities by material type, so most residents end up using at least two of them. The City of Maryville Recycle Center on E Lamar Alexander Pkwy and the Sandy Springs Recycling Center at 715 Best St are both operated by the City of Maryville as single-stream drop-offs. Both are open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and closed Sundays and holidays. They accept the same core list: flattened cardboard, mixed paper and newspaper, aluminum cans, tin and steel cans, and plastics #1 and #2.
A critical restriction at both city sites: no glass. Glass is not accepted at either Maryville city convenience center. For glass of any color, residents must visit the Blount County Recycling Center at 331 Levi St, which operates a dedicated glass-only bin. The Blount County center is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM — note it is closed Monday and Friday. It also accepts single-stream recyclables, corrugated cardboard, and newspaper, and it welcomes residents from the City of Maryville, City of Alcoa, and unincorporated Blount County.
All three recycling facilities require residency proof for access. City sites are limited to City of Maryville residents and property owners; a driver's license with a current city address or a property tax statement is typically used for verification. The Blount County site at 331 Levi St extends eligibility to Alcoa and broader county residents. None of the three facilities accept plastic bags, film wrap, Styrofoam, food waste, aerosols, electronics, or batteries. Shredded paper can go to the city centers in a paper bag with the top stapled shut.
For electronics and other materials not handled at these three centers, contact Blount County Solid Waste or check for periodic HHW collection events through Keep Blount Beautiful. Nearby communities with recycling options include Knoxville, Clinton, Greenback, and Athens. For a statewide overview, see Tennessee recycling centers.
