Boone County Transfer Station

Boone County Transfer Station in Burlington, KY is where local residents drop off household loads to be compacted and trucked out to a landfill. People who live nearby use it when a pickup truck or a full trailer makes a landfill run impractical. Kentucky facilities are overseen by the state DEP, so services follow state rules even if options vary around the state.

The site looks like a working yard more than a tidy recycling center - drive-up lanes, a small entrance booth and big containers or compactors visible from the road. At transfer stations like this, waste is consolidated and loaded onto larger haulers, and many such sites operate with a brief stop at a scale or check point. Expect to pull up, sort what’s in the vehicle for quicker unloading, and then drive back out the same way; weekends and spring cleanup days usually get the longest lines. It’s more convenient than a long trip to a distant landfill, especially for residents with moderate loads.
