Scott Solid Waste Disposal on Cabin Creek Rd in Stearns, Kentucky is where locals bring household junk, yard debris, and recyclables. Residents and small haulers stop by when clearing out a truck or trailer. The place looks functional rather than polished - more worksite than park.
Drive in from the road and there’s an entrance area with a booth and lanes to pull into; pickups and trailers are the common sights. Recycling bins are usually off to one side, with larger piles or containers for bulk trash and yard waste nearby. The ground is mostly gravel and a bit dusty, so expect a worksite feel rather than paved lot comfort. You’ll likely pass a scale area during the visit, so allow a little extra time to maneuver and unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables, yard waste, and regular trash at home so unloading is quicker once at the site.
- Tie down and cover loose items for the drive; the yard is gravel and wind can blow light debris around.
- Skip weekend afternoons if possible - spring cleanup and weekends get backed up, so a weekday morning will usually move faster.
