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.
