A group of Tennesseeans formed the Tennessee Volunteer Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America on June 10, 1991 at a meeting in Nashville. There were 32 people in attendance representing all sectors involved in mixed solid waste.

The Chapter was formed dueA Sorter to the lack of an organization in Tennessee devoted solely to the business of solid waste. In light of the stringent landfill requirements and the Solid Waste Act of 1991, it was felt by interested parties that this was the time to "do or die."
