Junk We Haul Most in Seymour
Seymour jobs have a different feel from the ones in town. There's no city hall here: the community is unincorporated and split between Sevier County and Blount County, so where your junk can legally go depends on which side of the line you're on. The valley sits between Bluff Mountain and the Bays Mountain ridge, about 13 to 15 miles from downtown Knoxville down Chapman Highway. A lot of lots are a few acres, with a barn, a shed or two, and whatever got parked behind them over the years.
- Old sheds and outbuildings taken down with shed removal
- Brush, limbs and logs, cleared with yard waste removal
- Barn and carport junk from rural lots: rusted feeders, old tin, a riding mower that hasn't started since 2019
- Furniture and appliances from cabin rental turnovers
- Remodel debris from 1990s and 2000s subdivision homes
Sevier Side or Blount Side? Where Seymour Junk Can Go
Since Seymour has no city government, there's no municipal bulky pickup. On the Sevier side, the county runs 11 convenience centers, but they're for county residents only and cap you at 15 bags a day per vehicle. Logs, large timbers and railroad ties don't go there at all; they go to a separate county site on Center View Road. Residential demolition debris and some household hazardous waste are taken.
On the Blount side, you'd use the Blount County landfill on Long Powers Road in Friendsville, which asks for proof of residency at check-in and charges a $15 minimum. And the Knox County convenience centers, including the John Sevier one on Governor John Sevier Highway, are for Knox County residents only, even though it's close. That's three sets of rules for one community. We sort it out so you don't have to.
Types of Junk Removal We Offer in Seymour
These are the jobs we get from Seymour most often, biggest first. Each one is priced by how much of our 16-yard trailer it fills, and the price gets said while we're both looking at the pile.
Shed and Barn Removal
Rural Seymour lots often have a sagging shed, a lean-to or an old barn. We take sheds apart by hand and haul the walls, roof and floor. Shed removal costs $400 to $1,500 depending on size, and shed demolition on a flat lot usually takes a few hours. Barns are priced after we see them because size and condition vary so much. See shed removal.
Loading a barn's worth of debris is like loading a church van for a youth trip: heavy stuff low and forward, soft stuff in the gaps, nothing loose on top. Tin roofing goes flat on the bottom, lumber on top of that, and everything gets strapped and tarped before we pull onto Chapman Highway. Tennessee's tarp law has been around since 1984, and T.C.A. § 55-7-109 makes the hauler answer for a loose load, so we follow it on every load.
Small sheds come down by hand in a few hours. Bigger outbuildings with a concrete pad take longer, and we'll tell you up front whether the slab stays or goes. Most people keep it as a spot for a new shed.
Yard Waste and Logs
Brush piles, fallen limbs, old fencing and logs are common on bigger lots. Sevier County sends logs, large timbers and railroad ties to a separate site, and the Blount County landfill refuses logs longer than 24 inches. We cut and load the whole pile in one trip. See yard waste removal.
We've cleared lots out here where the brush pile had been growing for ten years and had a fence row and a few tires buried in it. We pull the tires and metal out first so they go to recycling, then cut and load the wood. Honestly, those are some of our favorite jobs. You can see the difference from the road.
Construction Debris From Remodels
Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s are now due for kitchen and bathroom updates. We haul old cabinets, countertops, drywall, flooring and trim. Heavy materials like tile and concrete count for more of the load because of their weight.
A lot of Seymour subdivisions went up in the 1990s and 2000s, and those builder-grade kitchens are now getting replaced. If you're doing it yourself, stack the old cabinets and drywall in the garage or by the driveway and we'll load from there. Trailer math: one kitchen's worth of cabinets and countertops usually fills about half the trailer, so it lands around $400.
Appliance Removal
Fridges, chest freezers, washers, dryers and water heaters from houses, barns and garages. Fridges and freezers cost $50 extra because the coolant has to be recovered under EPA Section 608. Metal appliances without coolant go to scrap.
Barns and garages out here often hold a second fridge or a chest freezer that hasn't been plugged in for years. Those can be ugly to open. We tape the doors shut and carry them out on a strap dolly. A fridge weighs about 250 pounds, so it's always two people.
Metal appliances without coolant, like washers, dryers, water heaters and old woodstoves, go to scrap instead of the landfill. Washers alone weigh about 150 pounds, so a barn with three or four dead ones in the corner is real work. It's still usually a quarter-load job at $125.
Furniture Removal
Couches, recliners, bedroom sets and dining tables are everyday pickups. Good pieces go to the Knoxville Habitat for Humanity ReStore or KARM Stores, and the rest goes to the landfill. We take things apart when a doorway is tight.
If you ask us, a solid wood dresser or a dining table in decent shape deserves a second home, and we make the drive to a donation spot. Particle board that's been through a damp basement isn't, and we'll tell you which is which while we load.
Commercial Junk Removal for Cabin Rentals
Short-term rental owners on the Sevier side replace mattresses, furniture and hot tubs between seasons. Sevier County routes short-term-rental cleaners to designated sites, so many owners hire a hauler instead. We can work between guest stays. See commercial junk removal.
On a cabin turnover last spring we swapped out three mattress sets, a sleeper sofa and a dead grill between a Sunday checkout and a Monday check-in. That's the kind of window rental owners need, and we work it when the schedule allows. Each mattress or box spring adds $50, and hot tub removal for a cabin deck runs $300 to $600.
What Junk Removal Costs in Seymour
Junk removal in Seymour usually costs $125 to $800 in 2026, depending on how much of our 16-yard trailer the load fills. A few bulky items start at $125, half a trailer is $400 and a full trailer is $800. Fridges and mattresses add $50 each, and the price is set before loading.
| Seymour job | Typical load | 2026 price |
|---|---|---|
| Water heater and old washer | Quarter trailer | $125 |
| Brush pile and fallen limbs | Half trailer | $400 |
| Cabin turnover: two mattress sets and a sofa | Half trailer plus four mattress fees | $600 |
| Sagging wooden shed | By size | $400 to $1,500 |
| Kitchen remodel debris | Three-quarter trailer | $600 |
| Barn or mobile home | Priced after a visit | Quoted on site |
Barns and mobile homes are quoted after we see them. Size, condition, what's stored inside and how close the trailer can get all change the work. Travis is blunt about it: I'm not going to guess on a barn over the phone. I'll come out, walk it with you and give you one number.
Mobile homes are a bigger job. On the Blount side, the landfill alone charges a $300 minimum to take a trailer of 20 feet or less, plus $15 for every foot past that. A 60-foot single-wide starts at $900 in dump fees, plus the Tennessee landfill surcharge, before anyone has picked up a saw. That's why we look at every mobile home before quoting it.
Fast Growth in a Town With No Town Hall
Seymour started as Newell's Station in 1783, and voters have kept it unincorporated. Its population grew from 10,919 in 2010 to 14,705 in 2020, about 35%, and a 2024 estimate puts it at 16,216. The median home value is about $308,100.
That growth shows up in our schedule. Newer families move into the subdivisions, older owners sell the farm lots or split them, and each move leaves a pile. An estate cleanout on a farm lot can mean a house, a barn and a shop all at once. With no town to run a bulky day, every one of those piles needs a county trip or a hauler.
The valley sits at about 1,211 feet. Chapman Highway, which is US-441, runs northwest to Knoxville, US-411 goes to Maryville and Boyds Creek Highway heads east. Most of our Seymour jobs come off those three roads.
Plenty of Seymour lots sit at the end of a gravel drive or up a hill off Boyds Creek Highway. Our 16-yard trailer handles that fine in dry weather. After a few days of rain we may park at the top and carry down, which takes a little longer but keeps ruts out of your yard. We'll mention it when we set the day.
The area gets about 52 inches of rain a year, so sheds and barns rot from the floor up. We also serve Farragut, on the west side of Knox County.
If you're on the Blount side and want to haul some of it yourself, the landfill's recycling drop-off takes electronics, scrap metal and used tires. On the Sevier side, check which convenience center is closest and bring proof you live in the county. For the rest, we run Seymour jobs six days a week, 6am to 10pm.

Seymour Junk Removal FAQs
Is Seymour in Sevier County or Blount County?
Both. Seymour is an unincorporated community split between the northwest corner of Sevier County and the northeast corner of Blount County. Which side you live on decides where you can drop off junk: Sevier County convenience centers or the Blount County landfill. We haul from both sides.
Can you tear down and haul an old barn?
Yes, we do barn demolition and haul the debris. Barns vary a lot in size and condition, so we price them after a visit instead of by trailer load. Smaller sheds usually cost $400 to $1,500. Tell us about power lines, livestock or anything stored inside before the visit.
Do you haul junk from cabin rentals?
Yes. Owners and cleaners of short-term rentals on the Sevier side call us to haul old mattresses, sofas, grills and hot tubs between guest stays. Sevier County routes short-term-rental cleaners to specific sites, so a hauler is often simpler. Each mattress or box spring adds $50.
Where do railroad ties and big logs go?
In Sevier County, logs, large timbers and railroad ties go to a separate county site on Center View Road, not the regular convenience centers. On the Blount side, the landfill refuses logs longer than 24 inches. We cut and haul them with the rest of the pile.
