The All In On Clean Taskforce comprises of multiple Louisville Metro agencies and partners who work together to provide coordinated services that help create a cleaner, safer and healthier neighborhood.

You are invited to attend our next activation, and help us !

🧹 All in on Clean is coming to West Louisville!

Our next All in on Clean neighborhood activation will focus on the area from S. 30th Street to S. 26th Street, between W. Broadway and W. Chestnut Street.

Multiple Louisville Metro agencies and partners will work together to provide coordinated services that help create a cleaner, safer and healthier neighborhood.

Crews will be out tackling needs such as:
🧹 Street sweeping
🗑️ Litter and debris removal
💧 Catch basin cleaning
🦟 Treating catch basins to help prevent mosquito breeding
♻️ Garbage and recycling cart support
📚 Waste and recycling education

🚗 Residents can help! Please pay attention to posted signage and move vehicles from designated street sweeping routes so crews can thoroughly clean the area.

This is all part of All in on Clean, Louisville Metro’s coordinated effort to bring agencies, partners and residents together to improve neighborhoods and inspire community pride.

Did you know Fall is the best time to plant a pollinator garden? Plugs will spend the winter time establishing their roots. Seeds will go through stratification. Then, in Spring they'll burst with vibrancy! And the perennials will come back year after year.

You can learn about this at AOJ park on Saturday, September 26 with us and Beargrass Thunder. Beargrass Thunder specializes in native plants, and we will be handing out some free plant plugs to get you started!
