Rumpke Waste & Recycling in Salyersville is the local recycling center people use to keep cardboard, cans, bottles and other recyclables out of the landfill. Many residents from the eastern Kentucky hills drop off household recycling here between pickups or when doing a bigger cleanup.
A modest industrial lot with big roll-off bins and a small entrance booth; pull up to the booth/scale area first so you know where to go next. The recycling bins sit off to one side while larger trailers and truck traffic move through the middle, so watch for backing vehicles. Materials are generally separated by category-paper and cardboard, plastics, glass and metals are common-and loads are usually weighed on the way in or out. Weekends and spring cleanup days get noticeably busier, so expect a short wait at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Flatten and stack cardboard before unloading to save space and speed up drop-off.
- Keep glass separate from paper and cardboard to avoid breakage and a messy cleanup.
- Secure loose items in the truck bed or tie them down so nothing blows out while waiting in line.
