Last month, a resident in the Hikes Point neighborhood placed trash and construction debris in their city-issued recycling cart. The Solid Waste Enforcement team issued a notice of violation to the resident.
To correct the violation, the resident proceeded to take the trash and construction debris to a dumpster belonging to an apartment complex about a mile away. This is illegal dumping! A citation was issued to the registered owner of the vehicle used. This included a $750 fine and the impoundment of the vehicle.
Remember, only recycle accepted items! The list can be found on our website and in the image below. Also, never use someone else's dumpster! If you aren't sure how to dispose of something, use our Recycle Coach app to search any item. Our kNOw Waste Education team is also here to help - contact the Education Team.

The Office of Planning is preparing for the 2025 Zoning Matters conversation series at the libraries, with 12 total events scheduled throughout the year. This is a great opportunity for residents and community members to connect with city planners, ask questions about zoning and development policies, and learn more about the ongoing Land Development Code (LDC) Reform process. More information is on our website here: www.louisvilleky.gov/ldcreform. There are a few upcoming dates near District 16 this spring:
-
Fairdale Library on Tuesday, May 6th from 3 – 7 PM
-
South Central Regional Library on Tuesday, August 19th from 3 – 7 PM
 You might know that millions of birds migrate over Louisville every spring and fall. But did you also know that billions of migrating birds are hurt or killed each year in the U.S.—and it’s due to artificial light at night pulling them off course or causing them to fly into windows and buildings?
With your help, Lights Out Louisville—a Louisville Audubon Society conservation initiative—aims to change that.
The solution is simple, and anyone can be a part of it:
—This April and May, between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., turn off non-essential lights—both indoors and outside—and close your blinds, shades, and curtains.
—By reducing artificial nighttime light during the two biggest migration months in our area, we give migrating birds a better chance of surviving their long journeys.
—With a few simple actions, you’ll help save birds—and save money on your electricity bill at the same time!
Visit www.lightsoutlouisville.org to learn how going Lights Out is good for birds as well as people, and how you can be a part of the solution.
If you decide to go Lights Out, you can help Louisville Audubon track the program’s impact across our city by filling out a short pledge form as a resident/homeowner, or on behalf of your business or a commercial facility you own/operate. You can find both pledge forms on the Lights Out Louisville homepage at the address above. Business and commercial supporters will be promoted on the Lights Out Louisville website and on social media.
The Louisville Audubon Society thanks you for making the choice to go Lights Out!
