Residents of Jefferson County are invited to drop off storm debris for free. This includes all tree debris and bulky waste from storm damage. Since all tree debris will be composted, it must be separate from bulky waste for easy off-loading at each site. Residents will be asked to provide their name and address at the drop-off sites.
Drop-off sites and hours:
Highview Park, 7120 Briscoe Lane
Fern Creek Park, 8703 Ferndale Road
Charlie Vettiner Park, 5550 Charlie Vettiner Park Road
(by disc golf course)
Public Works Yard, 10500 Lower River Road
(enter from Bethany Lane)
Waste Reduction Center, 636 Meriwether Avenue
April 15 - April 30 (or longer if necessary)
Monday – Saturday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Household hazardous waste will not be accepted.
Contractors and businesses who are hauling debris are invited to use the Waste Reduction Center for the usual fee. See Louisvilleky.gov/WRC
Hometown Hauling is asking their customers to call their office if they have extra trash or yard waste due to the storm. There may be additional fees for collection, but they are dealing with each customer on a case-by-case basis. Residents serviced by other private waste haulers are encouraged to contact their provider about storm debris removal procedures.
As of Thursday, April 14, Public Works crews are assessing the damage of the hardest hit areas and will create an action plan to address those needs.
BBB Serving Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Western Kentucky warns of storm-chasing scammers in the aftermath of the tornadoes and severe storms that struck the Louisville area and surrounding counties Wednesday evening.
There is an increased potential of out-of-town storm chasers looking to take advantage of victims as they begin the process of cleaning up and making repairs. BBB warns Kentucky residents affected by the storms to beware of these scammers.

BBB offers the following tips for tornado and storm victims:
• Know your rights and responsibilities as provided by the state Attorney General. Kentucky residents can contact the Kentucky Attorney General’s office at ag.ky.gov or call 502.696.5300.
• Businesses must be licensed. Contact the Revenue Commission at 502.574.4860 to check out a company’s licensure.
• Many municipalities require a solicitation permit if salespeople go door-to-door. Verify that they need to have a permit by contacting your local Township or Municipality or call Permits & Licensing at 502.574.3321
• While most roofing contractors abide by the law, be careful allowing someone you do not know to inspect your roof. An unethical contractor may actually create damage to get work.
• Try to get at least 3-4 quotes from contractors, and insist that payments be made to the company, not an individual.
• Do not pay for the job in advance. Be wary of any contractor who demands full or half payment upfront.
• Resist high-pressure sales tactics, such as the “good deal” you’ll get only if you hire the contractor on the spot.
• Get a written contract that specifies the price, the work to be done, the amount of liability insurance coverage maintained by the contractor, and a time frame. Require a copy of their current certificate of insurance.
• For general questions or complaints related to insurance, contact your state’s Department of Insurance. Kentucky residents can visit insurance.ky.gov or call 502.564.3630.
• Pay by credit card, if possible; you may have additional protection if there’s a problem.
• If you suspect a company may be price gouging necessary goods or services due to this disaster, report the business to BBB and the Attorney General’s office.
• Beware of FEMA imposters. In the past, scammers impersonate FEMA to try to scam consumers. Remember that FEMA does not charge for inspections and they always wear ID badges. If you are still unsure, check with FEMA first at fema.gov or call 202.646.2500.
BBB is also warning area contractors to beware of storm chasers who are willing to pay local construction companies substantial amounts of money to use a local business’s established name, reputation, and phone so they can masquerade as a local business. Many contractors who agreed to let these storm chasers use their name regret their decision once they were left holding the bag of unsatisfied customers due to bad workmanship and/or unfulfilled warranties.
