Why It Matters 

Everyone in Louisville plays a role in creating a cleaner, more sustainable community. Reducing what we send to the landfill saves resources, lowers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and supports a circular economy that benefits us all. 

 What We're Doing 

We offer a variety of programs to make waste reduction easy and accessible for you:

• Curbside composting & yard waste: Weekly pick-up turns food scraps and yard trimmings into nutrient-rich compost.
• Curbside recycling: Our single-stream recycling program keeps valuable materials in use.
• Specialty disposal programs: Safely get rid of items like prescription medications and scrap metal.

 Get Involved 

You can reduce waste and give resources a second life by also participating in local reuse and drop-off programs:

• Resource Central Pick-Up: Donate usable renovation materials from your curb.
• Recycle Row: Drop off hazardous waste, electronics, furniture, and more.
• Fresh Food Connect: Share extra garden produce with local hunger relief programs.
• Boulder U-Fix-It Clinic: Learn how to repair items instead of throwing them away.
