Beginning on Monday, July 3, the Grimes Avenue Transfer Station will no longer accept construction and demolition debris (CD&D) loads larger than a pickup truck.
All CD&D waste in trailers, dump trucks, and roll-offs should go to the Daviess County Landfill at 7772 KY-815 near the community of West Louisville.
CD&D material includes: wood, steel, concrete, gypsum, masonry, plaster, metal and asphalt. This waste is often generated from the construction and renovation of homes, buildings, roads, bridges and other structures.
Why the change?
Since the Transfer Station opened in 1994, annual tonnage has more than doubled. Huge loads of CD&D material take up a large amount of tipping floor space and result in additional traffic that causes backups at the facility.
Additionally, the CD&D waste is causing a lot of wear and tear on county tractor-trailers transporting the material to the Daviess County Landfill.
For any questions, contact the Landfill directly at (270) 299-4484. Hours are Monday – Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to Noon.
