A small county convenience center on Wilson Pike used by Franklin residents for dropping off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Located at 3004 Wilson Pike, it’s the sort of place neighbors swing by for quick cleanouts rather than big commercial hauls.
Expect a compact site with a few large containers and roll-offs rather than a full-scale transfer station. Pull up to the entrance area, sort materials before getting out, and then use the bins or chutes that are grouped close together. Weekends, especially in spring or after storms, can get backed up and require a short wait. Many of these centers are simple and practical - no frills, just places to drop off household items.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables, yard waste and trash at home so unloading goes fast once at the site.
- Try to visit on a weekday morning to avoid the weekend line, particularly during spring cleanup season.
- Bring gloves and a tarp or straps for loose or awkward loads so items don’t spill when unloading.
