This is Franklin County's solid waste site out on Tullahoma Highway, used by residents hauling household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. Locals drop by with everything from pickup loads to small trailers. It feels like a county-run place rather than a private company - practical and a bit utilitarian.
A simple entrance with a small booth and a drive-up area; most vehicles stop at the booth and then pull through to the drop-off areas. There’s a scale nearby so vehicles often pause on the inbound and outbound lanes. Recycling bins and yard waste piles are visible from the main drive; larger roll-off or dump areas sit beyond those. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait during busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and yard waste before getting to the site so unloading moves faster once at the bins.
- Bring straps or a tarp to keep loose debris from blowing out of trailers while waiting in line.
- Avoid peak weekend hours if possible; weekday mornings tend to be quicker and less crowded.
