Keeping garbage and recycling workers safe is essential to an efficient and cost-effective waste collection system. For those reasons there are rules about what you can and cannot place in your garbage and recycling containers.
The potential for injury or exposure is high, so the best way to keep our waste collection staff safe is to make sure they don’t physically come into contact with the trash and recycling.
These items should NOT be placed in your garbage cart:
-
Concrete, asphalt, dirt, and rock are very heavy, and a small amount can make the container weigh too much and cause staff injuries or cart damage. It is also best to keep this material out of the landfill. Instead, use it to fill in holes in your yard or offer it for free to neighbors or online. Large amounts can be taken to a proper recycling or disposal facility.
-
Asbestos and household hazardous materials should never be placed in your curbside collection containers. Rechargeable lithium ion batteries are a fire hazard. Take household hazardous waste to the HazBin, open Tuesday – Saturday, 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. www.louisvilleky.gov/HazBin.
-
Electronic devices contain metals that can be hazardous or even valuable. Always take your electronics to a proper recycling location such as participating retail stores or the Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether Avenue. www.louisvilleky.gov/government/public-works/electronics-recycling
-
Liquid human waste should never be placed in your waste containers. Even if contained, these items tend to spray out when crushed by the truck’s compaction equipment. Bedpans and other containers of urine should be drained into the toilet. (Diapers can be bagged and placed in your garbage.)
- Although medical needles and other sharps CAN go into your garbage, they need to be placed in heavy duty plastic or metal containers and clearly marked with the word “sharps.” Never place sharps in recycling.
SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE OF WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THE CONTAINERS: 51.405 (A)(2): The following materials shall not be set out for collection: auto parts, asphalt, concrete, dirt, rock, asbestos, hazardous waste (including medical waste and bodily fluids), hot ashes., construction and demolition debris, liquid paint, and electronic waste (e-waste).
51.405 (B)(2): Needles may only be set out for garbage collection. Needles may not be set out for collection unless contained in either an approved sharps container, or a heavy-duty plastic or metal container that is clearly marked “sharps”. Such containers containing needles may not be recycled.
51.405 (A)(3): Department-provided carts may not be loaded with more than 200 pounds.

The 95-gallon and 65-gallon recycling carts are available for District 15 residents for only $25 -- this is a 50% discount.
