Solid Waste

The Campbell County Solid Waste Office directs the Campbell County Litter Abatement and Clean Up programs.  The office can also be of service to any citizen who wishes to dispose of old applicances, leftover paint, oil, antifreeze, and abandoned cars or has questions about other solid waste issues.  

As required by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the NKSWMA is currently drafting an update to its five year plan.

Please see the 2003-2007 Five Year Plan for more information on solid waste activities in Northern Kentucky.

If you have oil to dispose of, the AutoZone Stores in Southgate and Alexandria and Quickee Lube in Alexandria will accept up to five gallons of used oil per week per person at no charge or fee and they will recycle it.

Citizens wishing to dispose of antifreeze in an environmentally safe manner and can bring it to both the Kenton County and Boone County Road Departments; both recycle it for use in their equipment. You do not have to be a resident of those counties to participate in the program.

Leftover paint is a common problem, but it can easily be disposed of in your garbage if it is a solid.

Simply remove the lid of the can to air-dry the paint.  You may need to add kitty litter, paint hardener or other drying agents to the paint to allow it to dry faster.  Once the paint is a solid, you may throw it away with your regular garbage.  Be sure to leave the lid off the can to show the waste hauler that the paint is dry.
