Fall Season Weekly Yard Waste Collection to start the week of October 17th, 2022.

This weekly service will run until approximately the end of November.

The Town provides leaf pickup on a weekly basis, beginning around mid- October. Leaves must be placed in paper bags and placed at the curb. There is no limit to this service, but we encourage mulching or composting leaves, if at all possible. Please note, open burning in the Town of Sellersburg is NOT permitted.

For normal yard waste items: Limbs should be bundled in 4-5 ft. lengths tied securely with baling string or cord. There is a limit of Two (2) bundles per pickup up with a diameter of the branches being no larger than 3 inches. These may be placed at the curb with the cut end toward the street. Other vegetative material can either be placed in two (2) 32-gallon cans, clearly marked YARD WASTE on the side of the cans or biodegradable paper yard waste bags. 

Please do not intentionally blow your fallen leaves into the street. The street sweeper is designed to clean up leaves that have fallen into the roadway as part of normal road debris. While we do street sweeping, it is not intended for your yard waste. The street sweeper is designed to clean up leaves that have fallen into the roadway and normal road debris. Large amounts of leaves clog the vacuum system of the sweeper truck and also clog storm drains that will lead to flooding.

SELLERSBURG, IN (Haley Cawthon: WLKY News) —

A Southern Indiana town just 10 miles north of Downtown Louisville is one of the best suburbs in the U.S., according to Louisville Business First’s reporting on a recent study.

Sellersburg, Indiana, came in at No. 19 on SmartAsset’s ranking of best suburbs to live in near a large city. SmartAsset is a publisher of consumer-focused financial guides. Sellersburg ranked No. 19 overall out of 494 places in the study.

Here’s how it came up with the ranking:

• Jobs, including median household income, five-year growth in income and unemployment rate;
• Affordability, including housing costs as a percent of income, home value-to-income ratio and estimated annual cost of living; and
• Livability, including high school graduation rate, dining and entertainment as a percent of all establishments and crime rates.

While Sellersburg scored lower for jobs (69) and livability (69), it had high marks for affordability (80). The town, which has just over 9,000 residents, is home to multiple private schools, one of the top-ranked public school systems in the state, Silver Creek School Corp., and Ivy Tech Community College, according to the town’s website.

Sellersburg is also one of the wealthiest zip codes in the Louisville region, according to Louisville Business First research. Its median household income was about $75,400 in 2020, and nearly 8% of households there earned $200,000-plus incomes.

SmartAsset analyzed about 500 suburbs located within 15 minutes to an hour by car of a large city, which it categorized as those with a population of at least 250,000 people.

From the 2040 Comprehensive Plan: “The area north of CR 311 at Camp Run Parkway is targeted for a new town center that would allow multiple uses, improve connectivity, define the community’s character, and create a destination within Sellersburg. The town is planning an extension of Camp Run Parkway that would connect CR 311 to IN 60 at Poindexter Lane…”

“The town center has the opportunity to define the character and create a distinct image for Sellersburg. Design standards should be used to direct development in terms of building materials, building orientation, setbacks, height, lighting, signage, landscaping, parking, and pedestrian amenities.”

In early 2022, through the Redevelopment Commission, the Town broke ground on the Camp Run/American Way project. A $4.5M road project to connect SR60 and CO 311 through the Town Center District. Together with INDOT funding the $2.5M intersection improvement on SR60, this area will be the focus for attracting new business and entertainment for the residents of Sellersburg and surrounding communities.

Below is a news story from 9/2/2022 featured on WRDB News.

SELLERSBURG, Ind. (WDRB) — Officials in Sellersburg hope a massive project under construction that will connect Highway 60 to Highway 311 helps the town realize its vision of attracting people to visit, work, play and live. 

Camp Run Parkway, right off of Highway 60, has been called the “road to nowhere.” But now, it’s on its way to becoming a road to better places. 

American Way, which is the name of the new road that will connect Highway 60 and Highway 311, features the newly paved road, sidewalks and a large roundabout at the turn. It’s a $4.5 million project that’s funded by a private donor.

While the road appears close to being finished, it won’t completely open until the Indiana Department of Transportation installs a $2.4 million stoplight at the entrance of American Way at Highway 60.

“A lot of people are going to try to think that this is going to be a cut through,” Sellersburg Town Council President Brad Amos said. “It’s not necessarily our desire. Our desires are for people who want to come in here and shop and work and enjoy their family times.”

Due to Sellersburg’s lack of a main street area, the town created American Way with intentions of it becoming a town center district.

“This will be the area we expect people to come to if they want to walk with their kids, if they want to bicycle through here, if they want to come in and visit boutiques or small businesses along the way,” Councilman Terry Langford said.

Visions for the area include boutiques, shops, restaurants and other small businesses.

“We don’t want a bulging business industrial back in here,” Langford said. “We want to keep it down. We want a Main Street USA-type feel.”

Town officials expect the road to open sometime next spring, and they believe businesses will follow soon after. 

The project is keeping up with its town’s growth.

“I think, at the end of the day, everybody will see the exciting things we have in mind,” Amos said.
