Get Directions

Boyd County Sanitary Landfill is the county landfill located at 1837 River Cities Drive in Ashland, used by residents and commercial haulers. It’s a big, working site - lots of trucks, heavy equipment, and gravel drives. Don’t expect a neat drop-off; it’s the place where loads get buried and weight matters.

Pull up to an entrance booth and a scale; landfills typically charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on a weigh-in and often a second stop on the way out. After weighing, follow the main haul road toward the active dumping area where loaders move material and trucks queue up. The ground is mostly dirt or gravel, so it gets dusty in dry weather and sloppy when it rains. There’s usually limited room to stage a vehicle, so be ready to back a trailer or maneuver a truck into position.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose material with a tarp or tie-downs-wind and passing trucks can fling debris along the drive.
  • Expect to stop at the scale in and out; because fees are typically weight-based, knowing roughly how much the load weighs helps avoid surprises.
  • Avoid weekend mornings and peak spring cleanup times when lines are longest; midweek or later in the afternoon often moves faster.
