Junk Removal done right!
Spring cleaning season is here, and with it comes a fresh opportunity to clear out the clutter. For homeowners and businesses in Maryville, TN and surrounding areas like Alcoa, Friendsville, Louisville, Walland, Townsend, and Rockford, spring is the ideal time to reclaim space, reduce stress, and start fresh.
At Foothills Disposal, we’ve been in the trenches of junk hauling, cleanouts, and removal services for years. We’ve seen trends emerge each spring – and yes, certain items are always on the chopping block. But what should you do with all that junk? Let’s explore the top 10 items people in the Maryville area are throwing out this season, and how to get rid of them responsibly.
1. Old Furniture
That saggy couch in the basement or the rickety recliner that’s barely holding on? They’re often the first to go.
Why It Goes:
Spring is when many people redecorate or upgrade living spaces, especially in growing areas like Alcoa or Rockford.
Responsible Disposal:
Foothills Disposal donates gently used furniture to local charities when possible. Heavily damaged items are disposed of or recycled through approved facilities.
2. Broken Appliances
From busted dishwashers to outdated microwaves, appliance disposal is a big ask during spring cleanouts.
Why It Goes:
Appliance upgrades are common in spring remodels or after tax refunds hit.
Responsible Disposal:
We ensure safe handling and disposal of appliances with refrigerants (like old fridges or AC units), following EPA guidelines. We also provide appliance removal services in Louisville, TN and the greater Maryville area.
3. Yard Debris and Branches
Winter storms often leave behind a mess. Come spring, that mess has to go to make room for gardening and outdoor activities.
Why It Goes:
Branches, leaves, and trimmings pile up after months of neglect.
Responsible Disposal:
Foothills Disposal provides yard debris removal in Friendsville, Walland, and beyond, ensuring materials are composted or disposed of responsibly—keeping your yard and the environment clean.
4. Old Mattresses
You’re not alone—Maryville residents replace thousands of mattresses each year, especially in spring.
Why It Goes:
New beds for growing families or replacing old, uncomfortable mattresses.
Responsible Disposal:
We handle mattress removal in Townsend and Maryville, ensuring proper disposal per Tennessee solid waste regulations.
5. Electronics & E-Waste
From CRT TVs and monitors to outdated printers and cords, e-waste clogs up homes and offices alike.
Why It Goes:
Technology upgrades in spring often leave you with a pile of unusable or broken electronics.
Responsible Disposal:
We offer electronic waste disposal in Alcoa and surrounding towns, partnering with local e-waste recycling centers to keep toxic components out of landfills.
6. Hot Tubs
That broken hot tub that’s more eyesore than relaxation station? Yeah, it’s going.
Why It Goes:
Spring is the season for deck remodels and landscaping upgrades, especially in Louisville and Townsend.
Responsible Disposal:
Foothills Disposal specializes in hot tub removal in Maryville and Blount County, handling the heavy lifting, dismantling, and haul-away so you don’t have to.
7. Old Clothing and Textiles
Closet cleanouts are a spring staple. But those piles of old clothes, linens, and fabric scraps?
Why It Goes:
Spring = wardrobe refresh. Time to ditch what no longer fits or serves you.
Responsible Disposal:
We encourage donations to Maryville-based thrift stores for usable clothing. Torn or unusable items are sent to textile recyclers or handled via bulk junk pickups.
8. Leftover Renovation Debris
Home improvement booms every spring, leaving behind drywall, tiles, wood scraps, and general debris.
Why It Goes:
Spring is remodel season—especially in Walland, Alcoa, and expanding neighborhoods in Maryville.
Responsible Disposal:
We provide renovation debris removal in Rockford and surrounding communities, including fast, curbside pickup or full-service junk removal.
9. Toys, Bikes & Outdoor Equipment
From rusty bikes to broken trampolines, old outdoor gear is often a casualty of spring cleaning.
Why It Goes:
Kids grow up, and many outdoor toys don’t survive the winter weather.
Responsible Disposal:
Items in good condition are donated. Others are disassembled and responsibly discarded, especially in neighborhoods like Sandy Springs or Clover Hill in Maryville.
10. Miscellaneous Junk & Clutter
Let’s be honest—most garages, basements, and sheds in Maryville, TN are home to mysterious boxes of stuff you haven’t touched in years.

Decluttering is mentally freeing—and spring is the time to finally deal with it.
