Transfer Station

Princeton Hauling and Transfer Station

10129 Highway 62 West, Princeton, KY 42445

(270) 365-6200

A small transfer station used by Princeton residents and local businesses to drop off household and small commercial loads. It’s the sort of place people use when hauling junk or yard debris instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill.

Drive up to an entrance lane where there is typically a booth and a scale for weighing loads; the scale means stopping twice is common, once in and again on the way out. Vehicles pull up to a tipping area or compactor pit where loads are unloaded and then compacted or loaded into larger trucks that take the trash elsewhere. The site looks industrial - concrete pads, a few large containers, and heavy equipment moving stuff around. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Bring straps or a tarp if hauling loose material; it keeps things contained during the short drive and makes unloading quicker.
  • Drive a little slower through the site and follow posted traffic flow; larger trucks have limited visibility and the layout can be tight.
  • Separate bulky items from mixed bags before pulling up so unloading is faster and there’s less waiting behind larger loads.
