Neighbors in the Urban Services District,
Large Item Collection (what most of us call Junk Pickup) will begin next week for those in the "Old City of Louisville", now called the Urban Services District. Please set items out beginning Friday Oct. 1st and have those items ready for collection by Sunday evening, Oct. 3rd. They should be placed where you typically place trash, recycling carts and yard waste for collection.
Please review the information below on what Public Works will collect and - more importantly - what they will not. IN recent pickups, Public Works has become much more strict in terms of following the guidelines. They are also photographing some items that don't adhere to those guidelines as part of the collection process.
If you have any issues with collection or are skipped, please feel free to call our office or Metro311.
