City of Hopkinsville Transfer

City of Hopkinsville Transfer is the small transfer station out on Latham Road that locals use when hauling household junk or yard debris instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill. Folks from around Hopkinsville bring pickup loads and small trailers here - it’s the practical stop for short hauls and spring-cleanout trips. The site mainly compacts material and sends it on to a landfill elsewhere.

Pull in toward the entrance booth where someone will direct where to go; there’s a scale on the drive so vehicles are typically weighed coming and going. The yard is mostly concrete and open, with large tipping bays and compactors visible from the drive; trucks and larger haulers move through the center while cars and small trailers stage to the side. Recycling or drop-off bins are often placed off to one side past the booth, and attendants usually point traffic to the correct bay. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up so lines are common then.
