The Solid Waste Department and the Waste Management District are committed to waste reduction, reuse, and recycling, while WaterStep's projects keep hundreds of tons of waste out of our landfills AND help save hundreds of thousands of lives each year. The new partnership just makes sense!
Since August 2023 Solid Waste has collected over 600 lbs of shoes, which means over 200 people now have safe drinking water for life.
Drop-off boxes can be found at the Solid Waste office and the three staffed recycling locations:
- Solid Waste Office, 600 Meriwether Ave
- Southwest Government Center, 7219 Dixie Highway
- Central Government Center, 7201 Outer Loop
- East District Public Works, 595 N. Hubbards Lane
Shoes were also collected during our last four Pop-Up Drop-Off events this year. Stay tuned for the 2024 schedule.

 Louisville Parks and Recreation’s annual golf passes for the 2024 calendar year are now available for purchase in person and online.
The seven-day unlimited play pass, good for unlimited play during weekends and holidays at all ten Louisville Parks and Recreation courses, is $500. A five-day pass (Monday-Friday only) is $425.
The price of annual passes covers green fees for the 2024 calendar year (January 1 – December 31), with a user fee assessed each time a pass is used. Prices vary by course and dynamic pricing may apply during peak playing times.
Annual golf cart passes are also available for purchase and are $75, plus a user fee per pass used. Dynamic pricing may apply at courses during peak operating times for carts as well.
New annual pass holders will be required to visit the golf desk located in the park department’s administrative building, located in Joe Creason Park, across from the Louisville Zoo, for photo identification. However, during the week of Dec. 4-10, golf passes will be sold at Cyril Allgeier Community Center, 4101 Cadillac Court, due to the USA Cyclocross race being held at Joe Creason Park. Those interested may purchase their 2024 pass online here, over the phone by calling (502) 574-PARK (7275), or by visiting the golf desk Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Annual golf passes make a great gift for anyone who loves the game of golf! Those interested in purchasing a pass as a gift may do so by calling (502) 574-PARK (7275). Other Louisville Parks and Recreation divisions offer an abundance of great gifts for the holidays. Jefferson Memorial Forest Riverside, The Farnsley Moremen-Landing and Historic Locust Grove all have gift shops with items that can be enjoyed by all ages, and the Olmsted Parks Conservancy has an online gift shop.
 Adventure through the Louisville Zoo as it launches a new winter holiday event — “Qannik’s Beary Happy Holiday.” Areas of the Zoo will be transformed into a winter wonderland throughout the month of December, providing a unique opportunity to experience the holidays alongside the community’s beloved animal residents.
Families are invited to create memories and celebrate with polar bear Qannik and her animal companions as they enjoy special holiday-themed enrichment activities during the first three weekends of December (2 – 3, 9 – 10, and 16 – 17). Guests can stop by the Zoo’s Gift Shop, December 1 – 17, to write and send a letter to Santa at the North Pole.
The power couple of the season — Santa and Mrs. Claus — will visit with guests when they celebrate the season at the Zoo on December 16 – 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Additionally, holiday elves will have special sweet treats available for purchase this weekend, including fresh roasted s’mores, hot chocolate and cookie decorating.
To add an extra layer of festive fun, guests can embark on a monthlong scavenger hunt that promises adventure for all ages. Participants who successfully complete at least half of the scavenger hunt will be entered into a drawing for zoo-themed prizes. Guests can join the app-based game by scanning the QR code upon arrival to the Zoo.
For a detailed schedule of animal enrichment activities planned for our beloved animals and more, visit louisvillezoo.org/bearyhappy. Activities are subject to change without notice due to weather or the needs of the animals.
Qannik’s Beary Happy Holiday is included with Louisville Zoo admission or membership. The Zoo is also celebrating Wild Winter Days presented by Kroger through Feb. 29, 2024. Wild Winter Days offers Zoo guests discounted Zoo admission and incorporates a food drive for Dare to Care Food Bank.
Guests who bring at least one non-perishable food item per person may purchase discounted tickets at the Zoo ticket windows for $10 per adult and $7 per child/senior ticket. Twenty-five cents of every admission will also support conservation efforts of the Louisville Zoo.
