Trash for Cash raises money for youth-serving nonprofits; new calendar informs residents of mowing and litter collection!
With more than just spring cleaning ahead, Louisville Metro Government is showcasing all the ways they are working year-round to help keep the city beautiful. On Tuesday, Mayor Craig Greenberg highlighted a new program, Trash for Cash, that helps clean up Louisville while giving local nonprofits a new way to raise money. Additionally, Metro Public Works, in partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), released a calendar showing where and when residents can expect beautification efforts year-round.
Trash for Cash, a state program being rolled out in Louisville for the first time, helps ensure roadways around Louisville are kept clean while raising money for local youth-serving nonprofits. Qualified nonprofits can apply to join Trash for Cash on Brightside’s website. Brightside will then work with the nonprofit to find a roadway that needs attention, and the nonprofit will earn $100 per mile they help clean. While Trash for Cash highlights how community groups can help keep Louisville clean, Mayor Greenberg also stressed that hardworking Metro Government employees and their partners at KYTC work year-round toward that goal. Mayor Greenberg released the city’s mowing and cleanup schedule to let residents know where and when they can expect mowing and litter pickup to occur around the city.
If residents are concerned about maintenance of an area, they are encouraged to call 311 or submit a service request online.
