Garrard County Recycling Center

400 S Campbell St, Lancaster, KY 40444

(859) 792-1868

Small county recycling center in Lancaster where residents and small haulers drop off bottles, paper, cardboard and some common recyclables. Located on S Campbell St, it’s the kind of place locals use when clearing out a garage or hauling a bag of recyclables from home. The site mostly serves residential traffic and small-load users from around Garrard County.

Pull into a modest lot with an entrance booth and an area of open bays and bins. There’s a scale near the entry road - many centers have one, so expect to roll onto it and then again when leaving. Recycling bins and metal drop-offs sit off to the side of the main drive; set-ups are straightforward, not flashy. Vehicles line up on weekends or during spring cleanup, so a short wait is normal if the weather is nice.

Before You Go

  • Bring recyclables sorted as much as possible; loose mixed bags slow things down for everyone.
  • Back a truck or trailer close to the bins for easy unloading - parking is tight and lifting from a distance is a hassle.
  • Visit midweek afternoons if possible; early Saturday tends to be the busiest time for county centers.
