You're loaded up, you Googled "Blount County landfill hours" while you were still in the truck, and now you need to know if you're going to make it there before they close. This post gives you the answer, plus the surrounding info you actually need: what they charge, what they refuse, and where else you can go if the landfill isn't the right fit for your load.

Blount County Landfill Hours

The Blount County Landfill (also called the Blount County Sanitation Facility) runs weekday-only public hours. Roughly:

Monday through Friday: 7 AM to 3 PM (last load typically 2:30 PM)
Saturday: closed to the general public
Sunday: closed
Holidays: closed

Always call the county before you drive. Hours have shifted over the years and holiday schedules change. But the fact that they close by mid-afternoon and take no Saturdays doesn't change. If you're finishing a demo job late in the day or on a weekend, the landfill isn't an option.

For Saturday drops, SMSG is open 8 AM to noon at 245 Brookdale Rd in Maryville.

Blount County Landfill Fees

Concrete and C&D: roughly $60 per ton at the scale. That's the number that surprises most contractors.

Household waste: priced by load size, varies.

Yard waste and brush: typically lower per-ton than C&D.

Mixed loads: graded up to the highest-fee material in the load. So if your concrete has drywall or wood in it, you pay the mixed C&D rate on the whole load, not the clean concrete rate.

Some quick math on the concrete number. A tandem dump load is typically 18 to 22 tons of clean broken concrete. At $60 per ton that's $1,080 to $1,320 per load. A tri-axle is 27 to 35 tons, so $1,620 to $2,100 per load. Every single trip.

Who Gets Turned Away

This is the part nobody prints on the county website. The Blount County Landfill refuses non-Blount haulers. If your truck plates aren't Blount County, or if you can't show the operator you're working a Blount jobsite, you can be turned back at the scale.

That's not policy at every dump but it is at this one. Knoxville contractors, Loudon contractors, Sevier contractors, if you're hauling from a Blount jobsite you can usually get through with the right paperwork. Otherwise, plan a different destination.

What They Take

Standard C&D and municipal waste, subject to the residency rules above:

Broken concrete, block, brick, masonry
Asphalt tear-outs
Wood, drywall, roofing (mixed C&D pricing)
Household waste

The Alternative for Concrete and Asphalt

If you're hauling clean concrete or clean asphalt, SMSG at 245 Brookdale Rd, Maryville TN is closer to most Blount jobsites and dramatically cheaper. Right now during our free-load period, clean concrete and asphalt drops are FREE. No fee at the gate, no per-ton scale.

When the promo ends, we go back to flat per-vehicle pricing:

Pickup: $40
Single-axle trailer: $80
10-yard roll-off: $100
Tandem trailer: $120
Single-axle dump: $140
Tandem dump: $170
Tri-axle: $200

Compare that to $1,200-plus for a tandem dump at the landfill. That's why so many Blount contractors have already switched.

Our hours are Monday through Friday 7 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 8 AM to noon. See the concrete disposal page for what qualifies as clean, or the Blount County service area for local project examples.

When the Landfill Still Makes Sense

Not everything belongs at a concrete recycling yard. If your load is:

Mixed C&D with wood, drywall, or roofing scraps
Household trash or municipal waste
Yard waste or land clearing brush
Anything hazardous or requiring special handling

...the county landfill is your correct destination. We don't compete for those loads. But for clean concrete, asphalt, brick, block, masonry, or natural stone, SMSG is the shorter drive, the shorter wait, and (right now) the free option.
