Convenience Center
Simpson County Convenience Center
1478 Ditmore Ford Rd, Franklin, KY 42134
(270) 253-5141A small county convenience center out off Ditmore Ford Road that locals use for residential drop-offs. Mostly serves Franklin-area households who need a quick place to unload trash, recyclables and yard debris rather than make a trip to a landfill.
Drive in off 1478 Ditmore Ford Rd and follow the lanes to the drop-off area; the site is the kind of smaller convenience center where different containers sit in plain view. There may be an entrance booth or a simple sign with directions, and separate bins for trash, recyclables and yard waste are common at centers like this. Vehicles usually pull up, unload at the appropriate container, and then exit; plan for some queuing on busy weekends or during seasonal cleanups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items with tarps or straps so nothing blows out when driving to or from the site.
- Bring gloves and a flashlight for sorting and handling materials in the bins-edges and debris can be sharp and pockets of shade are common.
- Try to go midweek or early in the morning to avoid lines; weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest.
