Ohio County Balefill Landfill
Ohio County Balefill Landfill, 100 Landfill Lane, Beaver Dam, 42320, Kentucky
A working landfill on the edge of Beaver Dam, Ohio County Balefill Landfill is where local trash gets buried. Residents and haulers come here for final disposal. The site is at 100 Landfill Lane and looks like heavy equipment territory, not a neat drop-off center.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale, so expect to stop and be processed with fees based on weight or load type. Trucks and pickups share the same lanes and large vehicles need room to maneuver. The yard is often dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, with loaders and compactors moving around. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanups, so waits aren’t uncommon.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Try to come early in the morning or midweek to avoid long weekend backups; spring cleanup weekends are especially busy.
- Make sure loads are securely tarped and tied down - loose debris means extra stops and possible cleanups.
- Have the address (100 Landfill Lane, Beaver Dam) ready in your GPS and allow extra space for turning if driving a large truck; expect to stop at the booth and the scale and to pay according to the local fee structure.
