Laurel Ridge Landfill in Lily, Kentucky is the place where trash gets buried - the final stop for loads that need disposal. It’s a small, working landfill that sees everything from household cleanouts to contractor trucks. Expect a straightforward, no-frills site rather than anything fancy.
Pull in on a gravel drive and there’s typically a scale and a small entrance booth to stop at; tipping fees are usually charged by weight, so stopping to be weighed is part of the trip. After the weigh-in, pull forward to the active cell or tipping pad and unload where directed, then likely stop on the scale again when leaving. The yard is mostly dirt and compacted gravel with large dirt piles and heavy equipment moving around - dusty in dry weather and messy after rain. Weekends and spring cleanup season tend to build lines, so plan for a wait during those times.
