Green Valley Landfill
Green Valley Landfill, 100 Addington Drive, Ashland, 41102, Kentucky
Green Valley Landfill, at 100 Addington Drive in Ashland, Kentucky, is the local landfill where solid waste is buried. Residents doing house cleanouts and commercial haulers both use the site, since landfills take loads intended for burial.
You’ll cross a scale as you enter-tipping fees are assessed by weight, so expect to be weighed. There’s typically an entrance booth/scalehouse where trucks check in and are routed, and heavy equipment and large compacted cells are visible across the site. The place can be dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, and lines build up on weekends or during spring cleanup season. Commercial loads are handled here alongside residential drops, so expect a mix of pickup trucks and larger haulers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tarp and secure the load before leaving home-loose debris can blow off in traffic and slows down the line.
- Have the vehicle positioned to dump quickly when directed; quick unloading moves the queue and saves everyone time.
- Try to avoid weekend mornings and known cleanup weeks if a faster trip matters-those are the busiest times.
