New Yard Waste Regulations Became Effective January 1, 2015 

Louisville's Waste Management District reminds everyone about the new regulations. Yard waste must be set out for collection in the following containers:

• Reusable bin
• Paper yard waste bag
• Compostable plastic bag meeting ASTM D6400 standards

Louisville’s Waste Management District recommends citizens use the following methods for handling yard waste, in order of preference:

• Most Recommended: For a healthier, greener lawn utilize leaf mulch, grass clippings   and trimmings by returning them to the turf system.
• Second Best: Place the yard waste in 20-40 gallon reusable containers with handles (old style trash cans) to reduce the need for continual purchase of single-use bag
• Next Best: Place yard waste in paper bags designed for yard waste collection
• Still Works: Place yard waste in compostable plastic bags that meet ASTM D6400 standards
• For large amounts: Reduce the volume by using a lawn mower or leaf shredder before putting them in a container or utilize seasonal drop-off centers for yard waste materials.
