The annual Keep Kingsport Beautiful (KKB) and City of Kingsport Public Works Department’s CPR week (Clean-up, Pick-up and Recycle Week) is back and is scheduled for the week of April 13 through April 17.

On their regularly scheduled Garbage, Trash or Recycling Day during that week Kingsport residents will have the opportunity to get rid of unwanted household items and yard debris. 

During this week garbage, trash and recycling will be picked up on the residents regularly scheduled days.  Both loose and bagged leaves will also be collected during this week.

In order to make the pick-ups as efficient as possible please use the following tips:
□    Please separate piles of different items.  Keep brush, furniture and appliances separated.

□    Please be responsible with quantities.  This service is not designed to handle large quantities of materials, such as home renovations or land clearing.  It is intended only for general yard and home maintenance

□    No paint.

□    No more than four (4) tires per household.  Tires must be off rims.

□    Please stack brush neatly.  Brush must also be cut into six (6) feet lengths.

□    No hazardous material. 

Domtar, Eastman and BAE will be assisting the City of Kingsport with the pick-up’s during this week.

During this year’s CPR week Sullivan County will also sponsor two free days at the Kingsport Demolition Landfill. These days will be Saturday, April 11 and Saturday, April 25.

Residents may also put out extra household garbage that won’t fit in their 96 gallon cart on their regular day during CPR week.  Please place any extra garbage four (4) feet from the 96 gallon cart.

If the volume of material that is out on resident’s regularly scheduled trash collection day is too large for those routes to be finished on that day, the crews will start their collection in that area on the regularly scheduled day the following week.
