The common practice of online shopping means we have a lot of extra waste at home. From bubble wrap to cardboard to padded envelopes and air pillows, the list goes on. The best thing to do is reuse the items - refill the boxes, pack fragile items with bubble wrap or air pillows, mail something else in the envelopes, or use items for craft projects. (Or you can always donate to someone else to reuse.) But if you find yourself needing to dispose of them, here's some useful information:
Cardboard Boxes
Please recycle your cardboard! Flatten the boxes to conserve space in your own recycling bin or in our recycling dumpsters around town. Don't put them out for Large Item Collection ("junk") because they won't get recycled.
Bubble Wrap, Air Pillows
These can be recycled with plastic bags at participating retail stores. Keep them out of your home recycling containers and drop off recycling dumpsters.
Padded Envelopes
To know what to do with these, you have to know what they're made of. Some envelopes have paper surrounding bubble wrap. These cannot be recycled since they are made of a mix of materials. Some are all plastic and can go with the bubble wrap (see above). If the padding is made of all paper, the envelope can go in your home recycling containers or drop off recycling dumpsters.
Styrofoam
Large blocks of Styrofoam can be recycled at Foam Fabricators, 950 Progress Blvd, New Albany, IN. They must be clean and free of tape and stickers. They do not accept any other form of Styrofoam. And Styrofoam is NOT accepted in curbside recycling or drop off recycling dumpsters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️Property Tax Help Available⭐️⭐️⭐️
Property Tax time will soon be here and it is time to plan on how to pay those taxes if you are not currently being escrowed by a mortgage lender. Property Tax bills will be mailed to homeowners on November 1, 2019. If you know now that there will be a financial hardship created in paying that tax bill, there is help available. If you act BEFORE the end of November you may even take advantage of a 2% discount on the bill. LHOME, a mission-driven Community Development Loan Fund has limited funds available to assist in paying current and/or delinquent tax bills. We are located at Taylor and Berry Blvds In Louisville and exist to provide access to capital to areas of our community that have been financially underserved.
Our property tax loan product can not only save you 2% if applied before the end of November, it is available at a very low interest rate and avoids all late charges and penalties. Act now and save! If you apply during September or October you can be ready to take advantage of the discount and not worry about the bill when it arrives in November. We spread the repayment over 12 to 24 months. To qualify for this loan you must be the owner and occupant of the property being taxed and you must have a source of income which will allow repayment over time.
Don’t wait until the last minute, call or email our chief loan officer Dan Farris today: 502- 657-1297, dfarris@lhomeky.org, www.lhomeky.org.
LHOME may also help answer questions about homestead and disability exemptions available if you qualify and have not previously applied. Don’t wait, waiting is not your financial friend in this case.
