Recycling Center

Outer Loop Recycling & Disposal Facility

2673 Outer Loop, Louisville, KY 40219

800-963-4776

A neighborhood recycling center off the Outer Loop that locals drop by with bags and truckloads to keep stuff out of the landfill. People from Louisville bring household recyclables and occasional bulky items here, especially when doing a big cleanout. The site sits on a busy stretch of 2673 Outer Loop and is geared toward diverting common materials from regular trash.

Drive in and you'll see an entrance booth and a scale near the driveway; vehicles usually stop there before pulling into the sorting area. The recycling bins and roll-offs are set up a short way past the booth, with separate containers for paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metals typical at centers like this. Loads are usually weighed on the scale on the way in or out, so plan for a brief stop-and-wait process. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get backed up, so lines at the entrance and tight parking spots are common.

Before You Go

  • Pre-sort materials at home: flatten boxes, keep paper and cardboard separate from glass and metal to speed unloading.
  • Secure loose items in the truck bed or trailer so nothing blows out while waiting in line or pulling forward to the bins.
  • Come prepared to maneuver tight turns and park on gravel; bring gloves and handtotes so unloading is faster and cleaner.
