our story

Rooted in Indianapolis. Built for Manufacturers.

WinTerra Solutions is an independently owned material recovery facility connecting Midwest manufacturers with recycling processors. We handle the logistics — you focus on production.

the founder

Locally Owned. Personally Invested.

WinTerra Solutions is owned and operated by Dylan Windler, a professional basketball player and Indianapolis native who was selected 26th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft.

Dylan acquired WinTerra to build something lasting in his hometown — a real business, not a side project. He manages the company remotely with a small, capable team handling day-to-day operations on the ground in Indianapolis.

The goal is straightforward: be the most reliable recycling partner for manufacturers in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio.

What We Stand For

The WinTerra Difference

We're not a massive national recycling conglomerate. We're a locally owned, independently operated business that cares about doing right by our customers, our community, and the environment.

01

Reliability first

Manufacturers can't afford delays or dropped balls. We show up when we say we will and handle your material the way we promised.

02

simplicity by design

Drop and hook service exists because we believe recycling shouldn't require coordination overhead from your team. We handle it so you don't have to.

03

community investment

WinTerra is rooted in Indianapolis. Every contract we win keeps jobs local, keeps dollars in the community, and builds something lasting.

04

environmental accountability

We provide documentation that supports your sustainability and ESG goals — because recycling should be verifiable, not just a checkbox.

"Indianapolis is home. WinTerra is how I stay invested in it."

— Dylan Windler, Owner & CEO
Community First

Investing Back in the City That Built Us

For Dylan, buying WinTerra wasn’t just a business decision — it was a commitment to Indianapolis. A chance to create jobs, support local industry, and build something that outlasts any basketball career.

That community-first mindset shapes how we operate every day. We’re not chasing growth at any cost. We’re building a business that’s good for our customers, good for our employees, and good for the city we call home.

When you work with WinTerra, you’re not just solving a recycling problem. You’re supporting a locally owned Indianapolis business.
