What are My Other Options? Junk and Bulk Waste Drop-Off - Once a Year at the Landfill on Grade Lane

A free junk and bulk waste drop-off day is provided for households in the Louisville Metro area once a year. While this junk drop-off is primarily intended to service residents in the Suburban Areas without regular curbside junk collection, it is open to all residents of Louisville Metro.
