The Courier-Journal has reported that Louisville Waterfront Park has lost $420,000 in annual funding. The downtown park board is cutting expenses and scouring for additional sources of funds.
Waterfront Development Corp. Executive Director David Karem cites several major changes in the budget due to the loss. Layoffs and security cuts are being avoided as best as they can. A number of major events, including Abbey Road on the River, the Forecastle Festival, Kentucky Derby Festival, and others will not be affected.

The Courier-Journal reported that the Louisville Metro Council narrowly voted for a 2 percent fee to be paid by many Louisville Gas & Electric natural gas customers. The fee was proposed by Mayor Greg Fischer last month. The expected start date of the fee is December 1.
Residents of old Louisville and the unincorporated county will be expected to pay an additional $13 a year per household. The increase will generate about $3.6 million a year. Mayor Fischer plans to use this money to fund public safety improvements, most notably new police officers to keep city streets safe.
As expected, there is much debate over this issue. Some city leaders say the increase is needed because the money for public safety programs is “not there.” Louisville residents feel as though they are taxed enough and would like the programs to be paid with existing funds.

The Louisville Courier-Journal is reporting that the EPA will be testing Riverside Gardens homes for toxic chemicals. Dangerous vapors from the Lees Lane hazardous waste landfill may be seeping into nearby homes.
The sampling, which will start in late June, comes more than 15 years after the EPA first found problems with a methane-gas collection system that is also supposed to safeguard the Riverside Gardens neighborhood from chemical gases migrating from decades of buried waste.
Monitoring wells installed by the EPA last year found that methane no longer was a problem, but gas levels of seven other toxic chemicals were high enough to warrant testing homes. Contaminants of concern include Benzene, 1,3-butadiene, Carbon tetrachloride, Chloroform, Tetrachlorethylene, Trichloroethylene and Vinyl chloride.
It may take up to two months for test results to be returned.If necessary, the EPA will install remediation equipment.

Often people wonder whether they should rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal company. While both services can be beneficial, be sure to research both options completely before placing an order.
Moon Dumpsters in Louisville provides mini dumpsters for residential and commercial clients. Our dumpsters are designed for maximum volume while occupying minimum space on your property.
Who are they working for?
There are not many LOCAL, family owned junk removal businesses that you can trust. Many are either an out-of-town operation or some guys just looking to make some dough. Not that there’s anything wrong with being hard working and making money, but whose side are they on?
Most junk removal companies charge by the load size. Thus, a dishonest company or person has NO INCENTIVE to load the truck efficiently. Dumpster containers, on the other hand, can be selected to fit your specific needs and are designed to achieve maximum capacity.
Is it worth your time?
Junk removal is a one-time thing. They show up, remove some stuff, and that’s it. But what if more junk or garbage needs to be removed? You would have to schedule another appointment.
Dumpster rentals typically last from 3-7 days. This allows for plenty of time to guarantee that ALL items have been removed. Also, you may decide that you want to add more junk than previously planned. It’s OK. Keep the dumpster until YOU are ready.
Moon Mini Dumpsters are designed to fit into smaller, more convenient spaces than traditional bulky containers. This allows for easy placement in driveways, alleys, yards and alongside houses. Loading your dumpster has never been easier!

Working in the garbage collection and trash hauling industry, we get this question A LOT. Our classic response is it depends on the entirety of the situation. Certain factors may make one choice more applicable. Moon Mini Dumpsters in Louisville often finds that dumpsters can be more cost efficient.
Things to consider between junk removal and roll off containers:
-Budget-How much can you spend?
-Manpower-Are you getting any assistance?
-Nature of the job-A lot of furniture? Garbage?
Can be “labor-free”-The customer does not pick up or drop off the dumpster. If you can find relatives or neighbors, or maybe even hire one or two local teens to load the dumpster, you can spend a fraction of the cost compared to “professionals.”
Comprehensive Services-What if you don’t want to get rid of EVERYTHING? Companies like MOON offer portable storage as well as containers. Keep what you want and throw out what you don’t!
Environmentally Friendly-Many 21st century mini dumpster companies are “green.” This means they sort through for recycling and reusable items. Junk removal often means things just get thrown away.
