3. Set the approved item the day before the reservation date.
- Items should be co-located for garbage collection.
- Keep items away from other objects and do not block sidewalks or streets.
- What are large items?
-
I want to throw away big things, but they are too big to fit in the trash. For example: sofas, tables, mattresses, toilets, etc. A large item is not a large pile of small items or debris. Small items tend to get messy even in bags and boxes, leaving trash everywhere. Please include these items in your weekly garbage collection, or donate or recycle if possible.
- Can I set a bag or box containing small items?
-
No, bags or boxes with small items are unacceptable for large item pick-ups as they tend to scatter and litter and are not efficiently collected by this system. Please include these items in your weekly garbage collection, or donate or recycle if possible.
- How many large items can be set?
-
You can schedule up to 4 large item pickups.
- What items cannot be set for oversized item pick-up?
- When and where should I put large items?
-
Once the reservation is made, you will receive a confirmation email with the dates of your reservation. After 4:00 p.m. on the day before the reservation and by 6:00 a.m. on the day of the reservation, please dispose of the confirmed items at the same collection point.
- How often can I schedule pickups?
-
You can make a reservation up to once a week.
- Can I make appointments for other people?
-
Anyone within the service area can make an online reservation, but an email address is required. If a resident has a reservation at a different address, you will need to communicate with that resident so they can share the information provided in the confirmation email. If a resident has booked a different address and has not been contacted, the staff education process is hampered. Overall, it’s best for residents to book only their own address.

If you live in the Neighborhood Clean Pilot area of Smoketown/Shelby Park, please use the current scheduling system until the new reservation system starts on February 6, 2022 in that area.

Plan disposal!
Renovate or remodel? Do not start the demolition process until you have a plan for disposing of the resulting debris. Construction and demolition debris is prohibited by the Louisville Garbage and Large Items Collection Ordinance. A collector will mark the materials and leave a notice at the residence. S.o What can be done with construction debris?
One option for disposing of construction and demolition debris is to take it to the Waste Reduction Center on Meriweather Avenue. Fees vary depending on vehicle or trailer size.
A second option for large amounts of debris is to hire a haulage company. In many cases, the pickup truck can get the job done in one move of her. For larger volumes, some haulage companies will unload a large trash can at your home and collect it after the filling is complete.
