Tour of Remodeled Homes Returns

Check in for updates via the builders’ facebook pages for in-person/virtual tour options. Click here for a sampling of highlights of what you can expect to see on the 2021 tour.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
Products that contain corrosive, toxic or flammable ingredients are household hazardous wastes (HHW). These materials include common household items such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries and pesticides. Improper disposal can pollute air, water or soil and pose a threat to human health.
The city offers a household hazardous waste collection. During these events, Fayette County residents can drop off the hazardous materials that have accumulated in their homes. The city will properly dispose of them, free of charge.
The next Household Hazardous Waste event is Saturday, October 23, between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. at 1631 Old Frankfort Pike (enter via Jimmie Campbell Dr.)
If you want to speed up your wait time, complete the event survey in advance at LexingtonKY.gov/HHWsurvey. Load materials in the trunk of your vehicle for easy removal by on-site staff and please stay in your car at all times.
Common items to hold for a HHW event:
- Acids
- Acetone
- Brake fluid
- Calcium chloride
- Fertilizer that contains herbicides
- Fungicides
- Hydraulic fluid
- Lacquer
- Mercury
- Paint and polyurethane
- Paint thinner
- Pesticides
- Transmission fluid
LEAF COLLECTION
Leaf Collection time is coming. Lexington offers residents three ways to dispose of leaves. Use your gray “Lenny” yard cart. Lennys are picked up on the same days as your Herbies (green carts) and Rosie Recyclers (blue carts). You may also use paper yard waste bags. And don’t forget, the city’s leaf vacuum service begins Monday November 8.
