Garrard County has launched a new, year-round voucher system to replace its old “Free Dump Days,” making it simpler (and safer) for county residents to dispose of trash.  Now, instead of having to wait for the four annual dump days, residents can simply download a free dump voucher from the county website, and take it to the dump along with proof of residence.  To sign up and get your vouchers, visit https://garrardcountyky.gov/transfer-station-vouchers/.
   

Residents can use up to four vouchers per year, with a limit of one load per day per household.  Load size is limited to the bed of a pickup truck or single axle trailer. Items such as heavy construction debris, liquids, hazardous materials, propane or gas cylinders, motor oil, and Freon-containing appliances are prohibited.
   

Garrard County has also launched a Waste Tire Program that enables county residents to dispose of up to four tires per day, absolutely free, at the Transfer Station.  This program went into effect in July due to a grant; when the grant funds run out, it will go on hold until the next round of funding comes in.  (In other words, if you have tires to get rid of, get rid of them now!) Again, proof of county residence is required.
   

The Rumpke Transfer Station is located at 275 Hanging Fork Rd., Lancaster KY 40444, 800-828-8171.
