Jessamine County Recycling Convenience Center

Small, local recycling center serving Nicholasville and nearby parts of Jessamine County. Locals drop off household recyclables like cardboard, paper, glass, plastics and metal; the place is meant to keep that stuff out of the landfill. Expect a straightforward county-run spot rather than a big commercial transfer station.

Drive in off Hendren Way and you’ll pull up to a small entrance area with a booth and an open yard of roll-off bins and compactors. Bring items already sorted if possible - bins are usually grouped by material and it moves faster that way. There’s often a scale and a short stop to check what’s being brought in, so plan for a couple of minutes more than just pulling up and dropping off. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get backed up, but midweek visits are generally quicker.
