Are you concerned that most of the waste going into landfills is recyclable or reusable? Are you concerned about how much solid waste services cost where you live? Are you concerned about what services are available for you to dispose or recycle your waste? If you answered yes to those questions, then on behalf of Louisville Metro Government (Department of Public Works and Assets), the Jefferson County Waste Management District and the Mayor’s Innovation Delivery Team, you are invited to take part in a series of three very important meetings where you will have the opportunity to help shape our community’s solid waste management future.
During these meetings a consultant team will show you what is in Louisville Metro’s garbage, what it cost to collect it, where it goes, and how it is processed. The consultant team will then show you what our peer cities are doing, plus what high performing cities across the country are doing to plan for their solid waste management in the future. This will help you learn what might work here. All this will culminate, with your help, to develop a Solid Waste Master Plan to set goals, priorities and a vision for Jefferson County.
The first stakeholder meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 27th at the South West Public Library located at 9725 Dixie Highway from 6:00-8:00p
The objectives of the meeting are as follows: Introduce Waste Characterization and Collection System Findings, Develop Master Plan Goals, Priorities, and Vision.
