Where Do I Vote on Nov. 3?

Many precinct polling locations have changed in fact, twenty-five across Jefferson County are being moved for the November 3rd General Election; mostly for reasons related to deficiencies at the former precinct location in the May primary, such as not having enough parking or accessibility issues, county election officials have announced.  In some cases, the new locations are more centrally located within the precinct.

District 21 Locations

I-115 — From Beechmont Community Center, 205 W. Wellington Ave., to Rutherford Elementary, 301 W. Southland Blvd.
 
I-140 — From Beechmont Baptist Church, 4574 S. Third St., to Salvation Army, 1010 Beecher St.
 
J-148 — From Beechmont Baptist Church, 4574 S. Third St., to Rutherford Elementary, 301 W. Southland Blvd.

New Garbage, Recycling Carts Arriving

Manufacturing shortage delayed orders!

The long wait for replacement or additional garbage and recycling carts is just about over. We accepted delivery September 30 on 504 garbage carts. We expect to receive 1,008 additional 95-gallon garbage carts plus 1,512 95-gallon recycling carts and 2,000 recycling bins over the course of October. That would mark the end of a backlog that existed through the summer because of a shortage of a key resin used in manufacturing the carts. We have begun distributing carts beginning with the oldest requests. For information about replacement or additional carts, click here.
