Wilson Pike Drop is the local waste drop-off spot on Wilson Pike that people from Brentwood use for household and yard cleanups. Neighbors bring carloads, trailers, and pickup loads rather than large commercial hauls. Expect a practical, working site rather than anything fancy.
Most Tennessee community drop sites have an entrance area with a small attendant booth and a scale, so plan for a brief stop to check in and weight out. Drive straight in, line up behind other vehicles if needed, and follow signs or attendants toward the different disposal areas. The site is open-air with piles, dumpsters, and covered bays rather than a polished facility; weekends and spring cleanup times often have the longest waits. Because counties set their own rules, fees and exactly what can be left there vary, so be prepared for local differences.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items already sorted (metal, brush, general trash) in separate loads or sections of the truck to speed unloading.
- Go on a weekday morning if possible; weekend afternoons are typically the busiest times.
- Have a phone photo of what’s being dropped off or any paperwork requested by the county handy in case attendants ask for ID or proof of address.
