Solid Waste Facility

Interlocal Solid Waste Authority (ISWA)

419 Joyce Ln, Winchester, TN 37398

(931) 967-1139

A county solid waste facility that locals use for household trash, yard debris, and recycling drops. People from Winchester and the surrounding area bring pickup loads, trailers, and contractor trucks here pretty regularly.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale you’ll drive over, so plan to slow down when coming in and again when leaving. Pull up to the booth, then follow the signs and traffic flow to the different drop-off points - recycling bins are typically off to one side while larger roll-off containers and piles sit farther in. The site is open and industrial: gravel or paved drives, big compactors and dumpsters, and frequent truck traffic, so take care when moving between vehicles. Weekends and spring clean-up times get busy and lines can form, especially mid-morning.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loose loads with a tarp before driving here to avoid debris blowing out in traffic or on the site.
  • Separate recyclables at home as much as possible; it makes drop-off quicker and keeps things out of the mixed trash areas.
  • If bringing a trailer or a large load, come early on a weekend or pick a weekday if possible to avoid long lines and tight backing situations.
