Recycling in Maysville: A Local Guide
Maysville, the Mason County seat on the Ohio River in northeastern Kentucky, offers two complementary recycling options that cover opposite ends of the spectrum. Mason County Recycling at 7055 Clarkson-Sherman Road is the county-run free drop-off for everyday household recyclables — paper, cardboard, #1 and #2 plastics, and aluminum and tin cans. The facility also takes motor oil, cooking oil, and used computers/monitors/keyboards separately from the trailers. One important caveat: glass is not accepted here or at the county's satellite trailer locations. The main facility is open Monday–Friday 8 AM–3:30 PM and Saturday 8 AM–11:30 AM.
For scrap metal and electronics that have value, Butler Recycling and Core Inc at 5148 US-62 West pays cash for automotive scrap (radiators, catalytic converters, transmissions, starters/alternators, wheel weights), metals (aluminum, copper), automotive batteries, and electronics (circuit boards, laptops, cell phones, printers). Butler is a commercial buying yard — not a free drop-off — but it's the right call if you have scrap metal worth selling. Call (606) 759-8863 for current prices. Regular hours are Monday–Friday 8 AM–4:30 PM; Saturday availability (8 AM–noon) is listed by some sources but disputed by others, so call ahead.
Maysville sits on the AA Highway (AA-9) and US-68 in Mason County, roughly 65 miles east of Cincinnati. Neighboring Kentucky cities with recycling resources include Paris (about 40 miles southwest), Morehead (about 45 miles southeast), Grayson (about 65 miles east), and Ashland (about 65 miles east). The full Kentucky recycling directory lists facilities statewide.
Residents needing to recycle items Mason County Recycling doesn't handle — glass, electronics, paint, or hazardous household waste — should contact Mason County government at masoncountyrecycling@maysvilleky.net or check with the Kentucky Division of Waste Management for regional HHW collection events. The county also maintains satellite recycling trailers at May's Lick Market, Smart Shop BP, Shamrock BP, and the Park N Ride for convenient after-hours drop-off of standard recyclables.
