Yard waste collection in the Urban Services District of
Louisville Metro (the former City of Louisville boundaries) is now on seasonal
shutdown. Regular collection on yard waste routes is suspended until March 12.
During the suspension period, citizens should not put yard waste out for
collection. Any yard waste problems should be reported as usual to MetroCall at
311 or 574-5000. Those calls will be handled on an as needed basis rather than
running crews full-time on routes across the city.
