Knoxville Trash Schedule Update | Knoxville News
Knoxville’s trash and recycling pickups are getting a major upgrade starting October 5th, with Waste Connections adjusting schedules for nearly 20,000 homes to ensure consistent weekly pickups—making it easier to remember bin days and reducing missed collections. Around 2,800 households will see new garbage days, while others get shifted recycling schedules. Residents can check their updated days at KnoxvilleTN.gov/ServiceAndSort or contact Waste Connections directly. Downtown and backdoor pickup homes remain unaffected, as the city handles those services. This change aims to keep neighborhoods cleaner and simplify waste management for everyone.

Hot Weekend, Cool Turn by Thursday | Knoxville News
Brace for a steamy weekend with temps hitting 92-93 degrees and heat index soaring near 100—stay hydrated! Pop-up storms with strong winds are likely each afternoon. The stalled front means more rain and thunderstorms Tuesday-Wednesday, with moisture levels nearly double normal. But relief is on the way: early Thursday brings cooler temps (highs near 80, lows around 60), and Friday delivers pleasant, drier weather with highs in the upper 70s to near 80 and much lower humidity. Keep an eye on storm alerts this weekend, but look forward to fall-like comfort by Thursday night.
