Northern Kentucky Recycling
Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start in Kenton County! 🌼 Our annual Spring Clean Up returns April 24 & 25 to help residents safely dispose of household items that don’t go out with regular trash.
Kenton County residents (proof of residency required) can drop off electronics, yard debris, mattresses (limit 2 per household), appliances, scrap metal, tires (limit 8 per household), and more—for free (some fees may apply for certain items like Freon appliances or extra tires).
📍 Locations & Hours
• Kenton County Public Works (420 Independence Station Road, Independence, KY) – 8 AM–4 PM both days (tires & appliances accepted here only)
• Piner Elementary (2845 Piner Ridge Road, Morning View, KY) – 8 AM–4 PM Friday, 8 AM–1 PM Saturday
Whether you’ve lived here for years or you’re new to the area, this is a great way to keep our community clean and beautiful. What’s one thing you’re excited to finally clear out this spring? Tag a neighbor or friend who might join you—we’d love to welcome new faces too!

Christmas tree 🌲 mulching schedule
Taking down your Christmas tree? Don't just toss it - recycle it with Kenton County Public Works. 🎄
This January, our team will visit cities throughout Kenton County to mulch discarded Christmas trees. Check out the graphic below for participating cities, including where and when to take you tree. If you can't make it in time for your city's disposal day, you can also bring your old tree to Kenton County Public Works (420 Independence Station Rd, Independence 41051) from Jan. 5-16 during regular business hours.
Please ensure your trees are free of any hooks, wires or lights. And remember, this program is for trees only - no lights.
