Solid Waste Facility

Bell County Solid Waste

55 State Hwy 1534, Pineville, KY 40977

(606) 337-7035

A county solid waste site in Pineville used by local homeowners, small haulers, and anyone hauling household or yard debris. Short drives from town since it’s on State Hwy 1534, and the place looks like a small county transfer point rather than a landfill you’d see outside a city.

Drive up to an entrance booth with a scale nearby; loads are typically weighed and a fee is calculated by weight before moving on. Pull forward after the booth to drop off different kinds of material - recycling containers and yard waste piles are usually off to one side while trash goes to a separate area. The site is open and a bit rough underfoot, with trucks and trailers moving around, so take it slow when backing in. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so expect a bit of a line then.

Before You Go

  • Cover loose debris with a tarp so nothing blows out while driving and unloading.
  • Separate recyclables and yard waste at home so unloading goes quicker once at the site.
  • Try to come midweek or early in the morning to avoid the longer weekend lines.
