Trash Pickup in Shepherdsville

If you live in the Shepherdsville city limits, you have probably been wondering why someone left you a green Eco-Tech trash-can. We received our can rather unceremoniously last weekend. There was no note of explanation or introductory letter, just a large green can sitting at the end of the driveway.

Due to the timing of the delivery, my first thought was that this was for yard debris from the wind storm. While driving through neighborhoods last week, I noticed that my opinion was shared. However, no one came to remove the cans so I decided to call and find out exactly what was going on.

I spoke with representatives from Eco-Tech and Rumpke and each confirmed that ECO-Tech has been awarded the contract to pick-up trash by the city of Shepherdsville effective October 1st. Their monthly rate will be $9.50 which is higher than the $8.00 that we are currently paying Rumpke. Presumably, Rumpke bid higher. Pickup days will remain the same.

As my trash was already in the Rumpke can, I was concerned that I had to transfer it to the Eco-tech can. I was glad to hear Eco-tech say that they would accept it as is this week. That was an experience that I really wasn't looking forward to.

Rumpke will be coming around collecting their old cans. You do not have to put them by the street, but they do ask that you place them in a visible location near the front of your house.

For more information about the new service provider, visit the Eco-Tech website. Note that they also provide recycling pick-up for $5.00 extra per month.
