JOHNSON COUNTY TN GOVERNMENT

UPDATED INFORMATION: 

​

DEBRIS REMOVAL

The National Guard has assigned personnel and equipment to aid the county in the removal of debris. They are working in conjunction with the Highway Department to coordinate these efforts and want to make everyone aware of the process.

​

At this time, they will ONLY be removing debris that included vegetation. Please place this debris at the right-of-way of your property as they are not permitted to access private property.

​

1. If you have other household or property debris, this MUST be placed in a separate pile.

2. They will take the vegetative debris to the burn pit for proper disposal.

3. Absolutely NO private or commercial dumping at the burn pit will be permitted. Due to safety and environmental measures, removal and disposal of this debris will be monitored under the direction of the National Guard.

4. If you need assistance with cleanup on your personal property, please call 423-727-2507.
