Louisville Metro Waste Reduction Center

A city-run drop-off spot in southwest Louisville where locals bring household trash and neighborhood cleanout loads. Many residents and small haulers stop here when the curbside pickup isn’t enough, and the site feels like a typical municipal transfer point rather than a retail operation.

Drive up to an entrance booth at the front; there’s usually a small scale or scale house nearby and vehicles sometimes have to pause there. The lot is big enough for trucks and trailers, with piles or containers visible from the drive lanes and recycling options tucked off to the side. Traffic stacks up on weekend mornings, so lines can form; weekday mid-mornings are noticeably calmer. Expect to be directed where to dump and to stop back at the booth area before leaving for processing or weighing.
