Continued Litter Removal Efforts in the Metro Area

Louisville Metro Public Work’s Clean Collaborative initiative has once again partnered with KYTC District 5, to conduct a litter collection cycle along the interstates within Louisville Metro! The crews have been working on the interstates for the past two weeks and are currently working on I-264. During the month of January, those crews removed approximately 3,400 bags of debris from the interstates. Metro will also fund another collection during the month of March. Watch out for the crews in the reflective vests and use caution as you drive near their work areas!

Report a Litterer

Get directly involved in making Louisville a more litter-free community through the Report-A-Litterer program aimed at motorists who throw fast-food wrappers, cigarette butts, soda bottles or any type of litter out their car window.

Trash for Cash Applications Open!

Trash for Cash is a state program that helps ensure roadways around Louisville are kept clean while raising money for local community-serving non-profits!

If you are a 501(c)3 non-profit, we will work with you to find a roadway that needs attention--and in return for each mile cleaned, the non-profit will earn $100!

Applications will be accepted now until March 8th!

Apply for Trash for Cash here!

Report Potholes

Potholes are showing up everywhere! Why is that and how do they get fixed?

Potholes are caused by water seeping into the cracks of asphalt. This is caused by water getting into surface cracks caused by a weakened asphalt. Winter in the Metro Louisville area can be brutal with the constant amount of rain and snow that we have in the area. If the asphalt is already weakened, then the pothole is inevitable. Potholes are hard on our cars!

The good news? This is one of the easiest things to get fixed! How do you do that?

Report it! Be sure to give the exact location.

Metro need your help reporting potholes, use one of the methods below;

Use an online form by clicking here.

Use Twitter by sending the location of the hole to @LouMetro311 and include the hashtag #502pothole. 3. Call Metro311 or 574-5000 to report potholes or any other issues. 4. Call our office at 574-1118, and we'll turn it in on your behalf.

Join a Metro Board or Commission!
