“Since the early days of my campaign, I’ve been looking for ways to expand recycling services to residents and businesses in Louisville,” said Mayor Fischer. “We’re hoping that this pilot can build momentum, and provide some insight, as we examine the feasibility of making recycling the easy and cost-effective thing to do, for both taxpayers and for government.”
The Frankfort Avenue pilot program has been a great success. Other businesses have asked for expanded recycling and are willing to help Metro Government fund a portion of the cost, said Ward-Pugh. “We welcome the Mayor’s involvement and his willingness to be innovative with new programs while saving tax dollars.”
Beginning today, businesses located on Mellwood Avenue, Brownsboro Road, and Lexington Road, in the 9th District, and Bardstown Road (between Broadway and Taylorsville Rd), in the 8th District, will be able to join Frankfort Avenue businesses in participating, for the first time, in Louisville Metro Recycling Services.
By paying a one-time $50 fee, businesses will receive an orange 96-gallon recycling cart, which will be picked up by Louisville Metro Solid Waste Management as part of its regular routes. Businesses will contact their council office to request the carts: 9th District businesses should contact David Caldwell at 574-1109 or david.caldwell@louisvilleky.gov, and businesses along Bardstown Road in the 8th district should contact Terra Long at 574-1108 or terra.long@louisvilleky.gov.
