Local Planning Notes for Oak Ridge
These notes summarize public information from local government and facility sources, last reviewed 2026-10-12. Rules, hours, and fees change, so confirm with the listed office before you book or haul.
Permits and street placement
Oak Ridge City Code Title 17 covers refuse containers, including roll-off containers, and says collection containers may not obstruct traffic on streets or pedestrians on sidewalks. Before placing a container on a street, check with Oak Ridge Public Works at (865) 425-1875. City Hall is at 200 S. Tulane Ave, (865) 425-3400.
Renovation debris and city collection
Title 17 excludes construction and repair materials such as earth, plaster, mortar, and roofing from city collection, so remodeling and roofing debris needs a separate disposal plan, such as a roll-off container.
Disposal sites
Chestnut Ridge Landfill (Waste Management), 140 Fleenor Mill Rd, Heiskell, TN 37754, (865) 457-7810, accepts construction and demolition debris. Anderson County lists weekday and Saturday morning hours; confirm before hauling.
Anderson County's Blockhouse Valley Center in Clinton takes recycling such as tires, scrap metal, and appliances from county residents.
Brush and bulk pickup
Oak Ridge runs an annual citywide brush pickup. Brush goes out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled week, within 5 feet of the curb. Title 17 limits bundles to 5 feet long and 75 pounds.
The city also announces a citywide bulk pickup on its website. Check the city's current notice or call Public Works at (865) 425-1875 before putting items out.
Recycling concrete and metal

Local context
Oak Ridge was the Manhattan Project's secret city, and the National Park Service lists original housing among its historic places. The city is a Preserve America community. Older homes can mean plaster, lath, and other heavy remodeling debris, so describe materials carefully when choosing a size.
