Powell County Transfer Station

Powell County Transfer Station is the local transfer station that Clay City residents use to drop off household trash and bulky items before it gets loaded and hauled to a landfill. Small-town drivers, contractors with pickup loads, and people clearing out garages tend to show up here. The site sits on Transfer Station Rd, so it’s easy to find off the main road into town.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to pull up slowly; there’s usually a scale or weigh-in area nearby since material is compacted and shipped out. The lot is gravel and open, with a few large concrete drop-off bays and compactors set back from the entrance. Recycling bins are often positioned to one side and bulky-item spots are separate from the main trash area. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so there may be a short line of trucks and trailers waiting to pull in.
