How disposal works in Kentucky
In Kentucky, counties and cities run many of the public landfills and transfer stations, and most charge by weight: $30 a ton at Daviess County's West Daviess landfill, $38.05 at Hardin County's Pearl Hollow, and a $20 minimum at the Glasgow Regional Landfill. Louisville's landfill is private, but the city's Waste Reduction Center takes up to 4 large items a day free from residents.
State law keeps car batteries out of trash and landfills and lets landfills take tires only cut or shredded. Every landfill and transfer station load also pays a small state environmental remediation fee.
