Williamson County Material Recovery Facility

420 Century Ct, Franklin, TN 37064

(615) 790-8501

Williamson County Material Recovery Facility on Century Court is the county-run spot locals use to drop off household trash and bulky items. Neighbors and small haulers swing by from Franklin and nearby parts of Williamson County when residential piles need hauling off.

The entrance has a small booth and a lane for vehicles to pull up - plan to stop there briefly before heading in. Larger bays and compacting areas sit beyond the booth, with recycling containers typically positioned off to one side of the main drive. Traffic can back up on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so lines and slow-moving trucks are common; bring patience and a little extra time. Vehicles often pass over a scale on the way in or out, so expect a short hold while staff direct where to drop materials.

Before You Go

  • Load items so they’re easy to lift out of the truck bed or trunk; untying tarps and separating bulky pieces beforehand speeds unloading.
  • Have proof of residency or county identification handy, since county-run sites commonly check that information at the booth.
  • Avoid the busiest times by coming midweek or later in the afternoon when possible; weekends and early mornings tend to be the most crowded.
