Hopkins County Regional Landfill

Hopkins County Regional Landfill, 300 Grays Branch Road, White Plains, 42464, Kentucky

Hopkins County Regional Landfill sits off Grays Branch Road in White Plains and is the place local homeowners, contractors and haulers bring trash to be buried. It handles larger regional loads rather than small curbside pickups, so expect a busy, working-site feel.

There’s a scalehouse and truck scale as part of the process, so vehicles usually stop to be weighed when coming in and often again on the way out. Pull up to the booth for the initial weigh-in, then follow the gravel haul roads to the active tipping area where heavy equipment clears space. The site looks rough and industrial - big dirt mounds, loaders and lots of gravel - and semi-trucks are common, so take it slow. Tipping fees are based on weight at the scale, and regional landfills like this commonly accept commercial loads as well as residential ones.

Before You Go

  • Cover and tie down loose material with a tarp so nothing blows out on the drive; it also speeds up unloading and keeps the roadways cleaner.
  • Sort bulky or awkward items before getting to the scalehouse so dumping is quicker once at the tipping face.
  • Aim for an early weekday trip if possible; weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to have the longest lines and heaviest truck traffic.
