Hardin County Solid Waste in Kenton is the county-run spot locals use for household trash, recycling and yard debris. Small trucks, pickups with trailers and cars with bags are common here, so expect a practical, working-site feel rather than anything fancy.
There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale at county facilities like this, so plan for a short stop before and after unloading. Recycling bins and yard-waste piles are usually grouped near the drive-in area, with household trash areas set back a bit. The site looks utilitarian - gravel or paved drives, roll-off containers and a few marked drop-off points rather than landscaped grounds. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up and require extra patience.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials already separated as much as possible - loose mixed loads slow everyone down.
- Have proof of residency handy; county facilities often require it for local pricing or access.
- If hauling a trailer or large load, approach slowly and give yourself extra room to maneuver around roll-offs and other vehicles.
