Perry County Transfer is the transfer station in Hazard where local household loads get compacted and trucked off-site. Neighbors bring cars, trucks, and trailers here when the landfill is too far to drive. It’s the practical spot for dropping mixed residential trash without a long haul into town.
Drive to 644 Shady Ridge Dr and look for the facility entrance off the main road; there’s typically a small office or booth near the entrance where traffic is directed. At a transfer station like this, loads are emptied into larger containers or compactors and then hauled to a landfill, so expect big roll-off trucks coming and going. Pull up to the unloading area when directed, unload into the open bays or compactor, then stop by the exit area or scale if one’s in use-many places charge by weight. The site looks industrial: concrete pads, metal bays, and large trucks; plan for dust and noise on busy days.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose items before pulling in so wind and passing trucks don’t scatter debris during unloading.
- Separate anything recyclable or hazardous at home to speed unloading-having materials grouped by type makes the whole process quicker.
- Avoid mid-morning on weekend spring-cleanup days if possible; those times tend to have the longest lines and more traffic in the yard.
