bavarianWALTON, Ky. (June 30, 2015) — Bavarian Waste Services in Boone County has been ranked as one of the 100 largest waste and recycling firms in North America by Waste360, a leading information and services provider to the solid waste and recycling communities.

Bavarian provides waste disposal services at its Walton landfill.
