Tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:

Pop-Up Drop-Off events are extremely popular, and their staff strives to make the drive-through experience as efficient as possible. Here are seven tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:

1. Do not arrive early! All Pop-Up Drop-Off events start at 10:00am. A line of vehicles causes traffic backups and prevents our equipment from entering.
2. Only bring sensitive documents to be shredded! The line for shredding is usually the longest. They have seen catalogs, paperback books, etc. being shredded, which is unnecessary and takes up valuable time.
3. Make sure no items are mixed with your documents! They've seen hammers, scissors, and toys mixed in with documents. These contaminants can break the shredding truck's equipment! 
4. Try giving away usable items first! They see a LOT of decent items being trashed or recycled at our events. Some residents even offer these items to workers - staff is not allowed to keep items. Please try to donate or give away BEFORE coming to our waste and recycling event.
5. Loads of construction materials, lumber, and loose debris are NOT allowed! Take these loads to the Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether Ave instead. Pop-Up Drop-Off events are very popular - please follow the rules so they can keep the line moving.
6. Separate your loads into the various categories! More can be recycled, and the line moves faster when you are ready to offload your items at each station.
7. Check-in staff will ask for your zip code and which types of items you brought. They track this information so they can keep improving their events. Most residents bring large items, electronics, and documents for shredding. Other categories include metal (or mostly metal) items, tires, yard waste, household recyclables, prescription medication, and shoes.

Free Storm Debris Drop-Off Site

Jefferson County residents may drop off storm tree debris for free at the Louisville Metro Solid Waste Management Services at 600 Meriwether Avenue from 2:00pm to 6:00pm. The site is intended to operate through Saturday, July 13, but site participation/demand will be monitored daily to determine whether the site should continue to stay open. When the site is to be closed due to low demand, it will be communicated to residents through the Public Works' website, social media, and e-newsletter.

This free service is for Jefferson County residents only, and residents will be asked to show driver’s license and their license plate will be documented.
