Transfer Station
Henderson Waste Transfer Station
790 Wolf Hills Blvd, Henderson, KY 42420
(270) 826-1067Henderson Waste Transfer Station on Wolf Hills Blvd is where local residents and small haulers drop off trash that gets compacted and trucked out to a landfill. Good for people who'd rather make a short trip to town than drive all the way to a distant dump.
Pull into a paved, industrial-looking yard off 790 Wolf Hills Blvd and look for a small entrance booth near the driveway. Many transfer stations have a scale and a check-in spot, so be prepared for a brief stop before and possibly after unloading. The tipping area has big concrete pads, compacting equipment and tall roll-off trucks-it's noisy and there can be diesel smell. Recycling or drop-off bins are commonly set to one side, so having things separated will save time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down or tarp loose loads - wind can scatter papers and light debris while unloading.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible; lines get long during spring cleanup and holiday weekends.
- Load and stack items so they can be lifted easily (no digging through a jumble), and separate anything that could be recycled to speed the process; many transfer stations use a scale, so expect a stop for weighing.
