City of Murray Transfer Station

400 Landfill Rd, Murray, KY 42071

(270) 489-2584

City of Murray Transfer Station is the local spot where residential waste is dropped off, compacted, and then trucked out to a landfill. People from Murray and the surrounding area use it when the landfill is too far to drive to or when smaller, mixed loads need a quick drop-off.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to queue a bit on busy days; spring cleanup weekends usually see the longest lines. The site is a working yard with compactors and large containers, so expect trucks and equipment moving around and a lot of concrete and gravel underfoot. There’s typically a scale and a point of payment before leaving, since charges are commonly calculated by load weight at transfer stations. Recycling bins and roll-off containers are often grouped off to one side rather than mixed in with the tipping area.

Before You Go

  • Tie down and tarp loose material before coming so nothing falls onto the road while driving and unloading goes faster.
  • Bring everything sorted as much as possible - keeping recyclables separate speeds things up once at the site.
  • Avoid weekend mornings in spring and early summer if possible; midweek or late-afternoon visits usually move quicker.
