Eagle Ridge Landfill is the big county landfill just outside Bowling Green that people and haulers use when the curbside route or transfer stations won't do. It’s the kind of place where residential drop-offs and commercial trucks both end up, since landfills handle final disposal rather than recycling or transfer.
A drive up the access road leads to a weigh scale and an entrance booth area where trucks pause to be weighed - expect to stop twice if it’s weight-based. The site looks expansive, with visible landfill cells and cover soil piles in the distance; roll-off trucks and pickups are common, and larger commercial rigs bring most of the activity. Traffic can back up at busy times like spring cleanup or weekends, so there may be a short wait to get through the booth and onto the tipping face.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured and covered for the drive in; loose material can make entry slower if it blows out on the road.
- Bring a clear description of load contents and separate bulky items on the truck so tipping is quicker once at the face.
- Expect to use the weigh scale-plan for the stop and a second stop on the way out if fees are weight-based.
