Free Sample Paper
Yard Waste Bags and Container Labels Available
Leaf drop-off
sites also still available through December 6
As Louisville
continues the transition away from regular plastic bags for yard waste
disposal, our Solid Waste
division is offering free paper yard waste bags along with labels for reusable
yard waste containers
during the balance of the fall leaf season.
During regular
yard waste collection operations, one free paper bag, stapled with an
educational flyer on the new Yard Waste Container Regulation, will
be distributed to each residence found not yet to have made the switch
to paper or a reusable container. This will give everyone a chance
to sample the strength and quality of the paper bags in advance of the
January 1, 2015 start of enforcement of the regulation.
The flyer will
remind residents of the options for compliance, including mulch mowing—what
we call Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em—reusable containers, paper
yard waste bags and compostable plastic.
All residents are
also invited to pick up a sample bag and flyer at one of the locations below.
Those opting for
reusable containers are also invited to pick up free labels to place on those containers that
will help collection crews identify yard waste. Leaf drop-off is also available through December
6 as listed separately below.

Progress of Snow Removal throughout the Winter with Online Map
The Louisville Metro
Snow Team is made up nearly 300 employees from four agencies -
Metro Public Works, Solid Waste Management Services, Metro Parks and Codes
and Regulations. The Snow Team uses 160 pieces of equipment to clear 1,362
miles of road in Louisville. The total two-lane miles covered by crews on
designated snow routes equals 2,721.
Louisville's snow routes
focus on major roads, school and TARC bus routes, arteries to local employers
and hospital and emergency routes.
As a part of an
ongoing agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, city crews will
treat and clear most state roads and highways. That equals about 315 miles of
roads in Louisville, including roads such as Shelbyville Road, Beulah Church
Road and Dixie Highway.
The city's salt storage
facilities are well-stocked and ready to fight winter weather. Before the
season's first snowflake, the city had 35,000 tons of salt available, including
15,000 tons on hand at salt domes and storage facilities as well as 20,000 tons
stored underground for emergency reserve.
During a winter weather
event, you can track the progress of snow removal using and interactive map
that is constantly updated with the latest info. It's a great tool to use
before hitting the roadways when they are in poor condition.
