Dear Neighbor,
Please take note of the upcoming set out weekend (Next weekend, Sept 30- Oct 3) for residents of the Urban Services District (Old City of Louisville). Public Works has been very stringent on their rules for these collections in the past few years.
There are also several sustainable ways to celebrate fall - including getting involved in tree planting, learning about solar and electric vehicle, and helping our community support smart development and community practices.
Enjoy the weekend,
 Brent T. Ackerson
26th District Councilman
For scheduling reasons, the 26th District Office will be closed until 9:30am on Tuesday Sept. 27th. Metro Council has fall break the week of Sept 26th, but we will respond to emails and calls during that week beginning on our return Tuesday morning. Thank you for your understanding.
Several neighbors call each week asking about Junk Collection, or Large Item Set Out weekends for residents of the Urban Services District (the old City of Louisville)

Nothing beats talking to those homeowners who have already made the move and will give you unbiased and honest answers on how the process went, and the tips and tricks they picked up on the way.
