Local rules

Three things that work differently around Louisville

The street needs a permit

A dumpster in a Metro street needs a Pod or Dumpster Permit, usually for a spot in the parking lane. Sidewalks are off limits. Your driveway avoids the question. Permit guide.

Small cities set their own

St. Matthews, Shively, Prospect and other small cities inside Jefferson County write their own rules. Shively wants a permit even for a container on private property. Check your town.

Remodel debris has nowhere else to go

Metro's garbage and large item collection refuse construction debris by ordinance. Drywall, cabinets and old flooring need a hauled container or a trip to the Waste Reduction Center.

Quick answers

Does a dumpster in my own driveway need a permit in Louisville?

Metro's Pod or Dumpster Permit covers the public right-of-way, so a container fully on your driveway isn't part of it. Some small cities differ: Shively requires a permit on any lot.

What is a roll-off dumpster?

An open-top container that slides off the back of a hoist truck onto rails. Most have a rear door you can swing open to walk heavy items in.

Can I put paint or tires in the container?

Leave them out. Oil-based paint goes to HazBin on Grade Lane, tires to the Waste Reduction Center. Full list.

Book the container while it's on your mind

Say what you're clearing out, where the dumpster can sit and which day suits you. By the end of the conversation you'll know the container, the delivery morning and what you'd pay.
