Don't junk that jack-o-lantern or trash that pumpkin. Instead, put pumpkins and other gourds in with other yard waste on your regular yard waste collection day once you're done using them as seasonal decoration.
That will allow us to recycle the pumpkins into compost to be reused in landscaping and gardening. It will help make Louisville look good and prevent the gourds from taking up landfill space. Pumpkins must be free of decoration other than coloring.
This program applies to residents of the Urban Services District (old City of Louisville boundaries). Customers of other Jefferson County municipalities and of private haulers should check with them regarding pumpkin disposal.
Yard waste is collected on the same day as recycling. To find the recycling date for a particular address, type the address into our Recycle Coach tool.
*Shade trees are generally medium to large sized trees that have spreading canopies (e.g., oak, maple, linden, elm), though smaller species like redbuds and serviceberries also fall under this category. Dwarf ornamental varieties will not be eligible. If you have questions about whether your tree is eligible for a rebate, email info@treeslouisville.org.
The incentive is available for flat or low-sloped roofs on residential and commercial buildings. Rebates are first come, first served. Read more about the program and apply
