Rumpke/Pendleton County Landfill
Rumpke/Pendleton County Landfill, 1374 Bryan Griffin Road, Butler, 41006, Kentucky
Rumpke/Pendleton County Landfill sits on Bryan Griffin Road just outside Butler, Kentucky, and is where local trash and larger hauls get buried. Neighbors and commercial trucks both turn up here when garbage needs to be taken off the curb or out of a job site.
Drive in and there’s a roadside booth with a scale - landfills like this charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to stop to be weighed going in and again coming out. Beyond the booth the site opens into a large, gravel lot with dirt cells, piled refuse and heavy equipment moving around; visibility can be dusty on dry days. Trucks and pickups queue up at times, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup, so be prepared for a short wait. Recycling or special drop-off points are usually set to the side and the layout can be spread out, so follow the site flow once past the scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp and straps; wind and passing traffic can turn an uncovered load into a mess for everyone.
- Have paperwork and trailer/truck details handy if hauling commercially - load size affects where you’re routed and how long you’ll spend on the scale.
- Try to avoid mid-morning on weekends and peak spring cleanup days; lines get long and backing a trailer in a crowded lot is more trouble than it looks.
