The Transfer Station is honored to announce the installation of a new incinerator, funded by the State Composting Grant. We encourage the community to suggest a name for this equipment by commenting below. This machine will play a vital role in serving our county and neighboring areas, with two primary functions. It will facilitate the incineration of small animals, thereby reducing landfill waste, and support law enforcement agencies and the jail in the proper disposal of seized drugs.

Powell County residents have a new way to take part in the annual free trash disposal with Rumpke Waste & Recycling
Residents can now use a voucher (good for multiple trips April 10- 24) and take their trash to either the Montgomery County Landfill (30 LARISON Road Jeffersonville) or to Estill County Landfill (2700 Wi******er Road, Irvine). You can request your voucher by visiting the Powell County Transfer Station at 182 Transfer Station Road Clay City. Please call Solid Waste Coordinator Tim Snowden at 606-673-6410 or 606-481-9474 with any questions.
This is a continuation of a program Powell County has had in place for years with Rumpke, we are happy to have more options for our community, with the county covering the cost for you. Thanks to Powell County Judge-Executive Eddie Barnes, Tim Snowden and the Fiscal Court for making this happen with Rumpke.
