A free bulk waste and junk drop-off event will be held on Sunday, May 15th, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Waste Management Outer Loop Landfill, 2673 Outer Loop. Residents throughout Jefferson County may drop off bulky items not accepted during regular garbage collection such as appliances, furniture and mattresses.
The drop-off event is a partnership of Metro Public Works and Waste Management of Kentucky. Residents are asked to separate metal items from other junk so it can be recycled to conserve limited landfill space.
Items that will not be accepted during the drop-off event include yard waste (grass, limbs, leaves, etc.), hazardous materials, paint, tires and commercial trash. Materials such as oil and lead-based paints, lawn fertilizers, batteries and household chemicals may be taken the Household Hazardous Materials Collection Center, known as Haz Bin, at 7501 Grade Lane. The center is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There is no charge for Louisville residents for HAZ BIN services.
 If you are interested in building healthy, sustainable, safe and attractive neighborhoods in Louisville-Jefferson County, this is the event for you!
