Residents in Lexington adapt to new trash collection schedule amid snowy weather.
Due to recent winter weather, Lexington has made important adjustments to its trash collection schedule. Residents are advised to note the new collection days, with Monday pickups moving to Thursday and Tuesday pickups shifting to Friday. No recycling or yard waste will be collected this week. Businesses are also affected, with dumpster collections rescheduled accordingly. Residents are reminded to place trash carts out the night before and stay tuned for the upcoming Free Trash Disposal Day on Saturday. Let’s keep Lexington clean during these changes!
Hey there, Lexington! With all that chilly weather throwing a wrench into our usual routines this week, there’s some important news you need to know about trash collection. The city has made some changes to ensure that garbage gets picked up, despite the snow and ice getting in the way!
If you usually count on your trash getting collected on Monday, there’s a little twist this week! Instead of the usual Monday pick-up, your garbage will now be collected on Thursday, January 9. Yes, that’s right! And don’t worry, the regular Thursday garbage collection will also happen on that same day.
Now, for those of you who usually have waste collection on Tuesday, don’t fret! Your pick-up has simply moved to Friday, January 10. And again, Friday’s regular collection will also be conducted as scheduled. So, it’s all working out, just with a little calendar juggling!
As a friendly reminder, residents are advised to put out their trash carts the night before collection day. This way, you won’t have to worry about remembering it in the morning, especially if the trucks start rolling out earlier than usual to tackle that double route!
Heads up, though! There won’t be any recycling or yard waste collection this week, so you’ll want to hold off on those items until regular collection resumes. The team will be focused on getting the main garbage cleared away first, so we can all get back to business as usual soon.
For those who run businesses with dumpsters that usually get emptied on Monday or Tuesday, your service has also been rescheduled. Dumpsters will be emptied on Thursday or Friday instead, depending on how easily accessible they are with all that snow around. So why not lend a hand by clearing any snow in front of your dumpsters? This will help the collection trucks maneuver and complete their routes smoothly.
Additionally, make sure to check that the locks on your dumpsters aren’t frozen shut. It wouldn’t do to have your dumpster locked tight while the team is trying to help keep our city clean! A little precaution will go a long way here.
And for all of you who might be gearing up to tackle those unwanted items, mark your calendars! The Free Trash Disposal Day is still happening this Saturday, from 6 a.m. to noon. It’s a great opportunity to dispose of items without any fees, so don’t miss out!
So there you have it, Lexington! The trash collection schedule might look a little different this week, but with these adjustments, your solid waste won’t get left behind. Just remember to set out your trash carts the night before collection days, and let’s all pitch in to keep our beautiful city looking neat and tidy! Stay warm and safe out there, everyone!
