The Public Works Department is responsible for road maintenance, road repairs, street signs, drainage and maintaining other public areas of the city. We also offer services to our citizens that most cities do not offer. These services include limb chipping and a dumpster that is available for citizens to dispose of large items that their trash collection service may not take.

We do not accept the following items at the dumpster: tires, refrigerators, air conditioners, batteries, paint or chemicals, any substance controlled by the E.P.A., or regular household trash (or debri from contractors). The dumpster is also open the first Saturday of each month (unless that Saturday falls on a holiday) from 8:00am to 4:00pm for your convenience.  Please bring a form of identification with you to verify that you are a Hillview resident.

*NOTE* - Waste Management will accept one large item per month. However, you MUST call ahead due to Waste Management having to use a different truck to pick up the item. You can reach Waste Management at (502) 966-0117 to schedule a pickup.


Limb chipping is done on Wednesday of each week if the weather permits. If you would like to utilize this service, you should contact our office no later than noon on Tuesday to ensure service on the following day. Limbs should be stacked neatly with the cut ends facing the street. We only chip limbs and cannot dispose of tree trunks or pieces of wood larger than 7 inches in diameter. Please leave limbs whole and no larger than 7 inches in diameter. If you have any questions regarding these services or any other services, please feel free to contact us. 

City Dumpster - Open on the 1st Saturday of each month, unless on a Holiday, then it will be scheduled for the following Saturday.

Effective July 1, 2012 residents will only be able to utilize the dumpster the first Saturday of each month.
