A straightforward county solid waste site sitting on Main Street in Hazard that locals use for household trash, yard debris and some recycling. People hauling weekend cleanups or small trailer loads stop in here; it’s the sort of place residents drop off things that don’t fit in curbside cans.
Drive up to a small entrance with a booth or gate where vehicles pull forward to unload; larger trucks can back in near the piles. There’s a scale at many county sites, so weights and charges are common for heavier loads, and traffic can back up on busy Saturdays. Recycling bins and yard-waste piles are usually grouped off to one side, while household trash goes to the main tipping area with visible concrete pads and roll-off containers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp and tie-downs so nothing shifts while driving and unloading takes less time.
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at home before getting there - it speeds unloading and keeps the visit shorter.
- Expect lines during spring cleanup and holiday weekends; arriving earlier in the morning can cut wait time.
