Fall Leaf Drop off Coming Soon

leaves

Mowing over leaves to mulch them back into your lawn is a great option for reducing waste. Mulching not only returns vital nutrients to the soil, but experts say that it can help your grass grow even better the following year!

Never blow leaves into the street! If you see Street Sweeping signs posted on your street, please make sure to move your vehicle so any leaves that fell naturally on the street can be properly cleaned. 

Leaf Drop-Off Sites

The Metro Public Works free leaf drop-off sites will be open Tuesday-Saturdays, November 7 through December 9. 

Drop-off will not be available on November 23 and 24 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Only leaves will be accepted. Leaves can be loose, in paper/compostable bags, or reusable containers. Containers used to bring leaves to the drop-off sites must be taken back by residents.

Locations and hours starting Tuesday, November 7:

  • Public Works Yard, 10500 Lower River Road (enter from Bethany Lane) - Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

LG&E and KU alert customers to solar scam threat

Recently, customers began contacting LG&E and KU to report door-to-door "solar installers" claiming to work for LG&E and KU. The solar installers were using high-pressure sales tactics with the promise of providing "free solar panels" or "free energy" as part of signing up to do business with them. LG&E and KU took prompt action, placing an alert bar with information on the company's website, sending an email to customers, and sharing the information on TV news programs in Louisville and Lexington.

 Here are the details to know, along with helpful information you can use with family and friends.

    • While there are many legitimate solar installers across our service area, please know that LG&E and KU do not market or sell residential rooftop solar panels and are not affiliated with any residential solar installers.
    • Just as you would do with any significant investment involving your home, we encourage you to always do your homework and secure quotes from several reputable businesses before signing any contract or agreement and making a significant financial investment.
    • If someone comes to your door claiming to be from LG&E and KU, ask to see the person's company-issued employee or contractor identification card. An authentic ID card will show our company logo, the employee's name and color photograph on the front.

 There are many deceptive ways scammers operate. Remember these key points about how we do business and know that LG&E and KU will never do any of the following

    • Threaten to cut off your service if you do not make an immediate payment.
    • Make a live or automated call to demand payment.
    • Send someone to your home to demand payment.
    • Ask you for a credit card or debit card number or checking account information.
    • Ask you to pay with a prepaid debit card or gift card.

Customers who suspect they've been scammed or were targeted by a scammer also can call the police and then let LG&E and KU know by filling out the form at lge-ku.com/report/scam. Visit lge-ku.com/safety/scams for more information.
