Large Item Pickup by appointment is being phased into the entire Urban Services District. Once appointments are available for your address, you will be able to quickly get rid of up to four large items, once per week, by simply making an appointment on the Metro311 app or website. This means more opportunities to dispose of large items, less "junk" sitting out for weeks, and improved neighborhood cleanliness!
Please note that the junk pickups that occurred 4 times a year have been discontinued. Small/junk items will need to be collected with the weekly trash pickup.
Most residents are scheduling their appointments with ease and following the guidelines. We appreciate everyone's patience as we phase in the new appointment system to all areas.
Top 5 mistakes we've seen so far:
-
Resident set out items that were not listed on the confirmation email. If you describe an item that is unaccepted, you'll receive a separate email letting you know that one or more of your items is not allowed. Your confirmation email will only list the items from your request that are acceptable. Please note: Bags/boxes of small items are NOT accepted.
-
Resident broke an item into small pieces. If an item is in many small pieces, it is no longer a large item and should be placed in your garbage cart! Keep your items as intact as possible so they can be easily collected with no litter or debris left behind.
-
Resident made an appointment for an address other than their own. Doing this can hinder our education process. If you see a pile of debris in front of or behind someone's property, please report this as a violation rather than making an appointment on their behalf. This is especially an issue when the pile includes unacceptable material. Report to Metro311 under "Trash Complaints and Violations" and "Waste Violation."
-
Items are blocked by a vehicle. Collection crews use heavy equipment to collect the items and they are unable to maneuver around parked vehicles. All items should be clear of other objects and should never block sidewalks or streets.
-
Resident didn't include a description of the item. If your item is not listed in the dropdown list or if the choice is vague (e.g., Furniture item), please include a description so our collection crews know what to expect to find.
Example:
 |
|
These items would not be able to be collected because they are behind parked cars. Our staff will attempt to make contact, but if the items are not able to be collected, the resident will need to remove the items and schedule another appointment.. |
Example:
 |
|
This pile contains more than 4 items and some material is unacceptable. Only the items listed on the confirmation would be collected. A notice would be placed on their door explaining the problem. Solid Waste Enforcement would also be informed so an enforcement case can be created. It is the resident's responsibility to remove the items, schedule more appointments, and dispose of unaccepted material on their own. |
When your address is on the appointment system, you can make an appointment up to once per week for up to 4 large items to be picked up. Households and property owners will receive a letter and info card in the mail.
The Beargrass Creek Greenway path is closed for about a month beginning on January 30th for the refurbishment of bridges 1 and 2.
A little over a dozen people attended the meeting last Thursday and we appreciate the members of the Advisory Group that were able to attend and give their input! While this is a decent number, we would like to get more input on the draft goals and objectives from residents and neighbors. To that end, the planning team has created an online survey that mimics the in-person activities from Public Meeting #2. The survey can be found on the homepage of the website at www.cliftoncrescenthillplan.com. Please share the online survey with your friends and neighbors. It would be great if we could get to 100 responses!

Louisville’s newest 18-hole disc golf course opened this week. It’s located at Champions Park at the former River Road Country Club site near the intersection of River Road and Zorn Avenue approximately two miles from downtown Louisville.
As with the other Louisville Parks and Recreation disc golf courses, at Iroquois and Charlie Vettiner parks, play is first come, first serve.
Disc golfers and park patrons alike are encouraged to be aware of all recreational usage in the park. Champions Park, which contains a gated dog run adjacent to the new course, is also a popular destination for dog walkers. Dog walkers at Champions, as in all local parks, are expected to have their animals leashed. Additionally, disc golfers are encouraged to be aware of pedestrians and to allow them the right-of-way as they’re walking through the course.
Please note that the 3rd hole on the course is closed until a hazardous tree can be removed from the vicinity. Golfers are urged to stay off the 3rd hole and use an abundance of caution when traveling between holes.

Celebrating a federal grant that will save lives, prevent serious injuries and drastically improve safety in neighborhoods, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced on February 1st that Metro Government received $21 Million in Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding to implement new, high benefit safety improvements. The funds will be used to “rightsize” 10 important transportation corridors in the city through safe streets, safe speeds, safe vehicles, and safe people.
Of the ten corridors to be rightsized with funds provided by this grant, six directly impact Underserved Communities as identified by the US Department of Transportation (US DOT) Transportation Disadvantaged Census Tracts. In total, more than 60% of the total project cost will be invested in underserved communities. The traffic corridors which will benefit from this grant include:
