/ Why TN Eco
Big-hauler capability. Small-town accountability.
Tennessee businesses deserve a tire recycler who picks up the phone and shows up on time. That's the bar we set for ourselves on day one.
Proudly local, community-first
Founded in Cookeville, we built TN Eco Recycling to serve our neighbors.
Real people, real facetime
When you call, you reach a person who knows your account. Our founder Vishal Sharma is personally involved in keeping every pickup on time and every customer happy.
Reliable, no surprises
Scheduled pickups that actually show up. Transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Documentation handled, every load.
Licensed, compliant, insured
Fully licensed by the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) and fully-insured — so your waste stream stays clean and your liability stays covered.
/ Our Process
From your shop floor to a second life.
Every tire that leaves your business is documented, tracked, and diverted from the landfill. Clean paperwork, clean conscience.
01
Pickup
We schedule recurring or on-demand pickups from your Tennessee location — auto shops, dealers, fleets, and municipalities.
02
Process
Tires are sorted and prepared at our Cookeville facility. We're launching baling soon (taking enquiries now), with shredding and mulching to follow.
03
Recover
Steel and fiber are separated and sent for re-use. Rubber is graded for civil, industrial, and consumer applications.
04
Reborn
What was a landfill problem becomes playground surfacing, athletic tracks, asphalt rubber, mulch, and tire-derived fuel.
/ What we make
A tire is a raw material in disguise.

Steel & fiber
Recovered raw materials
Clean steel cord and textile fiber separated and recovered for reuse in new manufacturing.
/ Why it matters
Tires don't belong in landfills. Period.
The US generates more than 290 million scrap tires every year. Landfilled tires take up enormous space, never fully decompose, leach contaminants into soil and groundwater, and create fire and pest hazards in the communities around them.
Recycling tires the right way — locally, transparently, with proper certification — is one of the highest-impact environmental wins a Tennessee business can make. We're proud to make it the easy choice.
Partner with us290M+
Scrap tires generated in the US each year — enough to circle the planet several times over.
1 tire = 20+ years
That's how long a landfilled tire takes to break down — leaching chemicals and trapping methane the whole time.
Cleaner Tennessee
Every tire we recycle is one less in a Tennessee landfill, illegal dump, or mosquito-breeding pile.
/ Get involved
We're raising to grow this thing.
TN Eco Recycling is actively seeking aligned investors to expand our processing capacity and reach more Tennessee communities. If you care about local environmental impact and want a front-row seat as we scale, let's talk.
Expand the facility
Capital lets us scale processing capacity in Cookeville — more throughput, more tires diverted from Tennessee landfills.
Serve more communities
New routes and equipment mean we can serve more local shops, fleets, and municipalities across the state with the same hands-on care.
Strong unit economics
Recurring B2B contracts, multiple revenue streams (mulch, shred, baled, steel, TDF), and a tight local footprint make this a durable, growth-ready operation.
