Makeup Trash Day
Lexington’s Division of Waste Management will adjust its collection schedule for the upcoming Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. No collection will be made on Monday, January 18 in observance of the holiday. Residents and businesses that normally receive curbside pick-up on Mondays will be serviced on the Wednesday after the holiday. Those impacted should place their carts out after 4 p.m. on Tuesday to ensure Wednesday collection. Curbside collection will only be impacted for those normally serviced on Monday.
Tree Recycling
Curbside collection of natural trees is available with city service, on your regular collection day through January 29. Natural wreaths and garland with all wires and decorations removed can be placed in your gray yard waste cart.
Our neighborhood has also made it easy to turn your natural Christmas tree into a fish habitat. Just drop yours off (with all ornaments and tinsel removed) at Jacobson Park (near the boat dock) from 8 am to 5 pm daily until January 15.
BIA Cares
BIA Cares hosted their annual Operation Military Cheer Toy drive with the Kentucky National Guard in December. New unwrapped toys were donated and dropped off in the neighborhood at Citadel Self Storage on Locust Hill Drive. Donated toys were then delivered to many KY military families and children. The annual traditional toy drive has been going on since 2010.
