Benefits to Grant County

Low Collection Costs

Of Kentucky's 120 counties, only 25 have landfills. That means the other 95 counties must ship their garbage somewhere else. It is not unusual for counties and cities in Kentucky to ship their waste 50 miles or more everyday.

In Grant County, there is no need to ship trash long distances. Garbage trucks collect waste from residents and businesses throughout the County, and in Williamstown, Dry Ridge, Corinth and Crittenden, and haul it directly to the landfill. Because the landfill is right here in Grant County, it is not necessary to ship Grant's waste 50 miles or more. As a result, the cost of garbage collection for the people of Grant County is kept low.
