Got Junk?

Do you have junk/ hard-to-recycle/ clutter to get rid of? Take it to Recycle Row!

Overview

The City of Louisville is committed to developing policies, programs and infrastructure that help residents and businesses achieve responsible, sustainable waste management and support countywide efforts to reach zero waste "or darn near." These efforts include: providing curbside recycling and composting for residents; enhanced programming and education on zero waste practices, composting and hard-to-recycle; seasonal leaf and branch drop offs; and the safe management of hazardous materials.

Although high diversion rates are reported with residential premises under the City's waste hauler contract, the community-wide picture is much different as commercial and industrial entities, as well as exempted residential premises, landfill at a higher rate. Community-wide diversion presents opportunities to engage with new entities, work closely and creatively with neighboring municipalities and regional partners and educate both residents and visitors alike on the waste vision of Louisville.
