Event Details:
The free semi-annual junk drop-off day, held on Sunday, October 21, 2007, gives residents the opportunity to dispose of junk and bulk waste items at no charge.
Citizens can bring bulky junk items not accepted by regular garbage collection; such as appliances, furniture and mattresses. The metal from appliances is recycled and the Freon is properly removed.
Residents participating in the program are asked to separate metal items from their other junk so they can be processed for recycling.
Items that will not be accepted at the landfill include yard waste (grass, limbs, leaves, etc.), hazardous materials, paint, tires and commercial trash
Materials such as oil and lead-based paints, lawn fertilizers, batteries and household chemicals can be taken to the Louisville Metro Household Hazardous Materials Collection Center, known as HAZ BIN, 7501 Grade Lane. The center is open Wednesday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This service is also free for Louisville residents.
The junk disposal day is a partnership between the Louisville Metro Solid Waste Management Department and Waste Management of Kentucky.
