1. My garbage / recycle cart is broken or was stolen. What should I do?

From time to time, maintenance is required on containers or they may need to be replaced.  Call the Solid Waste Department at 502-875-8527 to report the damaged or stolen cart.

2. I am moving soon. What do I do with the garbage / recycling cart?

The city-issued carts are the property of the City of Frankfort. They are assigned to the home. Please leave them in the rear of the home or garage of the residence when you move.

If the home will be vacant for an extended amount of time, you may report the home as vacant to the Solid Waste Department at 502-875-8527 or Public Works at 502-352-2088.

3. I would like to request a different size cart. How do I do that?

The property owner may exchange the trash container for a container of a different size upon payment to the City of the $50 cart fee for the trash container.  Changing the size of the recycle container is no cost.

Payments can be made in person at:

Public Works Department
City Hall
315 W Second Street
Frankfort, KY 40602

Payments can also be mailed to:

City of Frankfort
Attention: Public Works
P.O. Box 697
Frankfort, KY 40602

When mailing, please include information details such as:

• Address
• Cart request

• Phone number

During other months, the property owner must exchange the cart at the recycle center by appointment after paying the $50 service charge to City Hall. For more information contact Solid Waste at 502-875-8527 or Public Works at 502-875-8500.
