Recycling Center

Shelby County Recycling Center

170 Windhurst Way, Shelbyville, KY 40065

(502) 633-2699

A straightforward local recycling center in Shelbyville that people bring household recyclables to rather than tossing into the trash. Neighbors and small pickups use it for larger runs that don't fit curbside bins, and it sits on a modest industrial lot off Windhurst Way.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly; many centers have a scale so vehicles are weighed on entry and exit. The lot is mostly open with large roll-off bins and covered areas for sorted materials, and the recycling bins are typically off to one side past the booth. Expect a mix of cars, pickups, and small trailers-weekends and spring cleanup weekends tend to be busiest.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials pre-sorted if possible (paper/cardboard separate from glass, plastics and metals) to move through quicker.
  • Pull in with a clear view of trailer or truck beds and tarps removed so attendants can see loads without extra handling.
  • Avoid peak weekend times if hauling a trailer; weekday mornings are usually less crowded for quicker drop-offs.
