If you're a contractor who drops off concrete or asphalt at Smoky Mountain Sand & Gravel more than once in a while, you're leaving money on the table without a contractor account. Our account program is built for construction outfits that need reliable, affordable disposal on a regular basis.

Setting one up takes a few minutes, and the benefits kick in on your next load.

Why Set Up a Contractor Account?

Walk-in drop-offs are always welcome at SMSG. Show up any business day, pull onto the scale, dump your concrete, pay at the window, and roll out. No account required.

But if you're coming to us regularly - once a week, a few times a month, or a couple of times a year on bigger projects - an account changes things. What you get:

Volume Pricing

This is the big one. Account holders get volume-based pricing that rewards you for bringing us more material. The more tonnage you run through our yard, the better your per-ton rate.

You're already saving compared to the Blount County landfill at $60 per ton. An account with volume pricing saves you more on top of that. For contractors doing heavy demo work, the difference adds up to thousands of dollars a year.

Our pricing page has the details, or call us to talk through volume tiers for your situation.

Net Payment Terms

Cash at the window is fine for one-off visits, but it's a hassle when you're running multiple trucks to our yard every week. Contractor accounts come with net terms so you can run your loads, get a monthly invoice, and pay on your normal billing cycle.

That's how most commercial operations prefer to work, and we set it up that way because we know how contractor cash flow runs. No more fumbling for a check or credit card at the scale house. Your drivers drop the load, sign the ticket, and keep moving.

Priority Unloading

Your trucks shouldn't sit in line any longer than they have to. Account holders move to the front of the line during busy periods.

On a typical day our turnaround is fast for everyone. But on peak days - especially spring and fall demo season - priority unloading can save your crew 15 to 30 minutes a trip. A few trips a week and it's real productivity.

Dedicated Support and Record-Keeping

With an account you're not just a random truck pulling up to the scale. You get a direct point of contact for questions, load planning before you dispatch a truck, and flexible scheduling for big demolition projects.

Every load gets documented with weight tickets, dates, and material types. Account holders get clean monthly statements that make job costing straightforward. If your contracts require waste diversion documentation (increasingly common on government and commercial work), your account records give you what you need.

How to Set Up Your Account

We kept this simple because you don't have time for a 10-page application.

Step 1: Contact Us

Reach out a few ways:

Call us at (865) 999-0857. Talk to someone directly and get started on the spot.
Visit our contact page and fill out the form. We'll get back to you quickly.
Stop by the yard in person. If you're already dropping a load, mention you want to set up an account and we'll walk you through it.

Step 2: Provide Your Business Information

The basics: company name and address, primary contact info, type of work you do, and estimated monthly volume (it doesn't lock you in - it just helps us set the right pricing tier). No 15-field credit application.

Step 3: Review and Start

We set up your account and send a summary of your pricing and payment terms. Once confirmed, you're active. On your next visit, tell the scale operator your company name - they apply your pricing and add the load to your monthly invoice. Your drivers do the same.

Usually takes a day or two. Plenty of contractors get it done on one phone call.

Who Should Set Up an Account?

Our accounts make sense for demolition contractors, general contractors, sitework and excavation companies, paving contractors, concrete contractors (yes, they generate waste too - cutouts, washout, failed pours), landscaping companies, and municipal road departments. If you produce concrete or asphalt waste as part of your regular operations, you qualify. No minimum volume required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can account holders bring? The same rules apply to everyone. We accept clean concrete, asphalt, and stone. Our full drop-off guide has the complete list. Pro tip: many account holders run a two-bin system on site - concrete to us at our lower rate, mixed debris to the landfill. Even partial diversion saves real money versus $60/ton for everything.

Is there a setup fee? No. Setting up a contractor account is free.

Is there a minimum volume commitment? No. Volume pricing tiers are based on actual usage, not commitments.

Can multiple drivers use one account? Absolutely. They just give your company name at the scale.

Can I also purchase recycled materials on my account? Yes. RCA, recycled asphalt, or other products from our materials inventory can go on the same account. Drop-offs and pickups on one invoice.

What if I only need disposal for one big project? We can set up a project-specific account. Call us at (865) 999-0857 to discuss.
