Bluegrass Transfer Station

Bluegrass Transfer Station sits just off Old Frankfort Pike in Lexington and is the kind of place neighborhood folks use when a pickup load or a yard-cleanup won’t fit in the curbside can. Locals drop off household and construction-type trash here so a big truck can take it on to a landfill elsewhere. It’s practical for city residents who don’t want to drive way out to a distant dump.

Drive in from the road and look for the entrance booth where vehicles usually pause before proceeding; there’s space to pull up and unload without tight backing. The site is the typical transfer station setup - open bays, compacting equipment, and a few places to leave recyclables off to the side. Loads are placed into larger containers or compactors and then hauled out, so it feels busier than a simple drop-off point. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get crowded, so lines are common then.
