Recycling in Lawrenceburg: A Local Guide
Lawrenceburg, the seat of Anderson County in central Kentucky, offers residents two recycling options that complement each other across different material categories. Anderson County Solid Waste at 1406 Versailles Road is the county's government-operated drop-off facility, open Monday–Friday 7:30 AM–4:00 PM (closed noon–12:30 for lunch) and Saturday 8:00 AM–noon. The site handles a broader mix than typical recycling centers: alongside aluminum cans, paper, and plastic in on-site trailers, it accepts furniture, clothing, carpet, scrap metal, copper, brass, car batteries, and brush. Tires are accepted — up to 10 per week, rim removed — for a fee. A valid Anderson County ID is required at check-in; non-county residents cannot use this facility.
For scrap metal with a payout, Francis Recycling at 1421 Bypass N has been a locally owned Anderson County scrap yard for over 20 years. The yard buys aluminum, copper, brass, steel, iron, lead, zinc, stainless steel, and bronze at market rates. What sets Francis apart from most scrap yards is its Sunday hours (8:00 AM–noon) — handy for weekend scrap runs when other yards are closed. Tuesday through Saturday hours are 8:00 AM–4:00 PM; Mondays are the only closed day. No website is active for Francis; call (502) 839-2005 for current scrap prices.
Anderson County residents should be aware of what each site will and will not take. Anderson County Solid Waste does not accept CRT televisions, freon-containing appliances, propane tanks, or construction debris. Francis Recycling handles metal only — paper, glass, and plastic belong at the county solid waste site. For e-waste and household hazardous waste, contact the Solid Waste Coordinator Justin Stamper at (502) 680-5034 for information on periodic collection events. Neighboring cities Versailles, Frankfort, and Harrodsburg have their own county solid waste programs if you're near those county lines.
Republic Services also provides curbside recycling to Lawrenceburg households under an Anderson County franchise — check your service agreement for accepted materials and pickup schedule. For the full statewide picture, the Kentucky recycling directory lists facilities by county and city.
