Louisville Metro provides curbside trash collection through contracted waste haulers under LMCO Chapter 51. Residential trash is collected weekly on designated days. Trash must be placed in approved containers at the curb by 6 AM on collection day. Heavy items and oversized waste require separate scheduling through Louisville Metro's bulk pickup program.
Louisville contracts with waste haulers or operates municipal trash collection on a weekly schedule. Residents receive assigned pickup days. Bins must be placed curbside by the designated morning time, typically 6 to 7 AM. Holiday delays shift pickup one day. Contaminated recycling bins may be skipped. Oversized or overweight bins will not be collected. Contact Louisville public works for schedule changes or missed pickup reports.
Failure to follow schedule may result in missed pickup. Repeated violations of bin rules may incur $50 to $200 fines from code enforcement.
