| Dear neighbor,
As we celebrate the holidays at home this year, it is safe to say we are all hopeful that 2021 will be brighter and more prosperous. For too many who have lost loved ones during this unprecedented time, we know those better days can't come soon enough. Our family knows too well the uncertainty a deadly virus can bring.
Even as city services continue to move slowly and many in our community continue to heal, we will do what we can to be of service to you and your family as we all navigate the roads ahead.
Please watch out for each other and keep your neighbors safe when you can.
From our home to yours, we are wishing you a peaceful and Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year,
 Brent T. Ackerson
26th District Councilman

Metro Public Works will also provide curbside pickup of Christmas trees within the Urban Services District (the old City of Louisville boundaries) after the holiday. Residents with City curbside yard waste pickup may set their Christmas trees and greenery out on their regular collection day. Trees must not be in plastic bags, and all decorations must be removed.
Residents normally serviced by private waste haulers should check with those companies to see whether and when tree pickup is available.
