City program details: Louisville Metro Public Works provides large item set-out appointments for Urban Services District residents (old City of Louisville boundaries). Garbage collection runs once per week Mon-Fri. The Waste Reduction Center accepts drop-offs from Louisville/Jefferson County residents and businesses. Waste Management and Rumpke also serve areas of Jefferson County outside the Urban Services District.

What happens to your furniture after pickup

Furniture in usable condition — structurally sound, clean, no major damage — is donated to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, and Salvation Army. Our haulers prioritize donation whenever possible. Wood furniture that can't be donated may be recycled or repurposed. Metal frames and hardware are sent to scrap processors. Items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of at licensed solid waste facilities.
