Kingsport offers update on Blue Lid Cart collection
Beginning Wednesday, August 23, Kingsport Streets and Sanitation crews and a third party contractor will begin collecting all blue lid carts from residents who HAVE NOT notified the city of their intent to keep the cart and start paying the additional monthly fee.
The collection date is based on your regularly scheduled garbage day and is as follows:
- 8/23: Wednesday route.
- 8/31: Thursday route.
- 9/8: Friday route.
- 9/18: Monday route.
- 9/26: Tuesday route.
Please place your cart at the curb on your normal collection day and leave it there until it is picked up. It may take up to 7 business days to collect your cart.
NOTE – Residents will not be charged the monthly fee for the blue lid cart unless they have notified the city that they want to keep it as an additional garbage cart. If you wish to have an additional garbage cart, you can request one after all the blue lid carts have been collected.
To maintain efficient and cost-effective services, Kingsport shifted its curbside collection of recyclable material to convenience center drop-off locations and began collecting the blue lid carts in June.
If you have any further questions about this collection process, call 423-229-9451 or 423-229-9400.
