Pop-Up Drop-Off events are extremely popular, and our staff strives to make the drive-through experience as efficient as possible. Here are seven tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:
Do not arrive early! All Pop-Up Drop-Off events start at 10 a.m. A line of vehicles causes traffic backups and prevents our equipment from entering.
Only bring sensitive documents to be shredded! The line for shredding is usually the longest. We have seen catalogs, paperback books, etc. being shredded, which is unnecessary and takes up valuable time.
Make sure no items are mixed with your documents! We've seen hammers, scissors, and toys mixed in with documents. These contaminants can break the shredding truck's equipment!
Try giving away usable items first! We 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.
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 we can keep the line moving.
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.
Check-in staff will ask for your zip code and which types of items you brought. We track this information so we can keep improving our 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.
Tired of all the leaf blowing and raking? Take this as a license to chill this fall, and just leave your leaves where they are! Fallen leaves provide overwintering habitat for a variety of insects, including endangered pollinators. When you bag or mulch your leaves, you remove that habitat and destroy beneficial insect larvae.
Can’t resist the urge to move those leaves? Blow or rake them into a neat pile at the base of a tree, then leave ‘em be. Learn more about the benefits of leaving the leaves and native “yardening” from our friends at Wild Ones Louisville!
Keep leaves out of the street
Avoid blowing leaves into the street. If you see street sweeping signs posted, please keep the street clear so crews can properly clean up naturally fallen leaves. Large piles of leaves that have been intentionally blown into the street will not be collected. Also, clear any catch basins of leaves & debris.
Free leaf drop-off sites
Metro Public Works offers free leaf drop-off from Tuesday to Saturday, November 4 – December 6. Closed: November 27 – 29 for the Thanksgiving holiday.
✅ Accepted: Loose leaves, leaves in paper/compostable bags or reusable containers
🚫 Not accepted: Trash, plastic bags, or other yard waste
♻️ Reminder: If you bring leaves in a reusable container, please take it back with you.
Curbside yard waste collection is available throughout Louisville Metro. We want to remind residents and businesses that yard waste should not go in the trash. Please collect leaves, grass clippings, branches, and tree trimmings in a separate container or paper yard waste bags so these materials can be sent to our local composter — where they’re turned into useful Earth products like mulch and soil.
Seasonally, pumpkins and Christmas trees can also go into yard waste. Just be sure to remove all decorations and follow your service provider’s size and preparation requirements.
Together, we can keep compostable materials out of the landfill and make the most of what the Earth provides.
