Landfill
Tri-K Landfill, Inc
Tri-K Landfill, Inc., 1905 Kentucky Highway 3249, Stanford, 40484, Kentucky
Tri-K Landfill sits out on KY-3249 in Stanford and is where locals and haulers bring bigger loads that don’t fit curbside. It’s a working landfill - the place trash gets buried - and commonly used by residential folks and commercial trucks alike.
There’s usually a scale to cross; landfills of this type commonly charge by weight, so expect to stop for weighing. Pull up to the entrance, then move onto the scale and follow the lane toward the dumping area. The site is mostly packed dirt, heavy equipment, and rows of compacted cells or dirt piles, with trucks coming and going. Tipping fees are typically set with a minimum charge and a per-ton structure rather than a per-item price.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loads before getting on the highway - loose trash blowing out of a truck makes cleanup and headaches for everyone.
- Sort heavy materials (concrete, bricks, scrap metal) to one side of the load so unloading and any separate tipping is quicker.
- Avoid weekend afternoons and spring-cleanup crowds if possible; weekday mornings usually move faster and have shorter lines.
