LEXINGTON, KY. (Jan. 13, 2025) – Since the winter storm last week, many residents have branches and other yard debris to clean up. The City has several options for disposing of storm debris.
For residents with City curbside waste collection, trees and yard waste can be left at the curb to be picked up.
- Stack your debris between the sidewalk and the curb, never in the street.
- If you have trees and branches set out on the curb, call LexCall at 311 or enter a service request online at lexingtonky.gov/lexcall. This will help us complete additional pickups as soon as possible.
- The maximum length of debris the City can pick up is 12 feet. Branches and trunks cannot be more than 16 inches in diameter.
- Unbundled yard waste will be collected curbside until Feb. 28. After that, sticks and branches must be bundled with twine before being put on the curb. Bundles should be less than 4 feet long and weigh less than 50 pounds.
All Fayette County residents may take two pickup truck loads of yard waste each month to the Haley Pike Waste Management Facility, free of charge. The facility is located at 4216 Hedger Ln. Hours are 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Residents whose trash carts were missed last week are asked to leave them on the curb until they are emptied. Waste Management will not enforce the ordinance requiring carts to be brought off the curb this week. Waste Management expects to be fully caught up with missed streets soon. If your trash cart has not been collected by Wednesday, report a missed pickup by calling 311 or online at lexingtonky.gov/lexcall.
