UPDATE FROM WASTE CONNECTIONS (February 5, 2026):
Due to unsafe weather conditions and ongoing delays with Waste Connections, there will be NO recycle pickup for Wednesday routes this week.
Following the lead of local school districts, Waste Connections made the decision to cancel residential service for Wednesday.
What residents need to know:
• Wednesday customers will NOT be picked up this week
• Wednesday customers may place extra bags out on their next regular service day on February 18
• Friday routes are planned to be picked up on Saturday
These service changes were made by Waste Connections due to weather and staffing delays.
For questions, please contact Waste Connections directly at (865) 522-8161.
Recycling on a One-Day Delay
Waste Connections will collect city residents' recycling on a one-day delay this week, Feb. 2 - 7. If Monday is your pickup day, plan for a Tuesday pickup. If it's Tuesday, plan for a Wednesday pickup, and so on through Saturday, February 7.
Thank you for your patience.
