Louisville, KY 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with the Louisville Metro Emergency Services (LMES) and the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection (KYDEP), will host a public meeting on Thursday, October 5, 2023, to introduce the plan to clean up hazardous materials found at a home on Applegate Lane in Louisville and answer questions.

Protecting the health and safety of workers and surrounding residents during this process is the top priority for the agencies involved. EPA, in coordination with LMES and KYDEP, plans to demolish the property using a controlled, mechanical approach that will remove and destroy the hazardous materials. EPA will discuss the plan and will also address safety measures being taken to ensure the community is protected. 

Metro Government has established a website with information on Applegate Lane including updated Frequently Asked Questions.  The webpage can be found at: Applegate Safety Information.

October 5-7 - Waste Tire Collection Event

Tires

Kentucky's Waste Tire Collection Program was established in 1998 as part of the Energy & Environment Cabinet’s (EEC) ongoing efforts to rid Kentucky’s landscape of waste tires. The EEC contracts for the removal and delivery of the recovered tires to "beneficial end use" markets where they are recycled to become products such as tire-derived fuel or crumb rubber.

The program is supported by the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which is funded when tire retailers collect a $2 fee on all new replacement motor vehicle tires sold. Retailers may retain five cents to offset administrative costs, but the balance is required to go in the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which is dedicated to managing scrap tires and developing sustainable markets for recycled tire products. To date, the Waste Tire Collection Program is responsible for the proper disposal of more than 19 million waste tires! 

Every three years, Jefferson County hosts a Waste Tire Collection Event. The next event is:

October 5, 6, and 7 at 1030 Phillips Lane, across from the Kentucky Exposition Center. 

Thursday & Friday, 7 am - 3:30 pm
 Saturday, 7 am - 1 pm

Tires must be separated by type prior to arrival. Any Kentucky resident is eligible to dispose of an unlimited number of tires EXCEPT tire retailers, scrap/salvage yards, and recycling facilities. 

Accepted:

  • Tires on or off rim
  • Truck, light truck, and passenger
  • Tractor and farm implement
  • Bicycle, motorcycle, golf cart, ATV

 Not Accepted:

  • Foam filled
  • Calcium filled
  • Off road construction
