Bourbon Transfer & Recycle Center

A small-town recycling center just off Noble Road that gets used by homeowners, landscapers, and folks doing cleanups around Fort Scott. It looks like the sort of place where trucks and pickup beds both show up-more practical than pretty, and the traffic peaks on weekends and in spring.

Expect a yard with a gravel drive and a simple entrance point where people pull up to sort their loads. There’s usually a small booth or office near the drive and several large containers and loose pile areas spread out across the lot. Staff or attendants will direct where to drop different materials, and common items handled at centers like this include cardboard, mixed recyclables, scrap metal, and sometimes electronics or appliances through special programs. Lines form fast on busy days, so the site can feel crowded when several trucks are unloading.
