City offers free household waste disposal day



Lexington residents will have the opportunity to dispose
of household waste for free on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010. The Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Government is partnering with the Bluegrass Waste
Alliance Transfer Station to offer the free disposal day.

From 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 16 residents can drop off
a level pickup truck load of bagged household waste and up to four
tires, off the rim, for free. The transfer station is located at 1505
Old Frankfort Pike.

Residents should not bring appliances to the transfer
station; appliances can be dropped off at Environmental Recycling,
Inc., 3899 Winchester Road.

The city offers the free disposal day four times a year:
January, April, July and October, on the third Saturday of the month.
It normally costs $52.00/ton to dispose of household waste.

The guidelines for the free disposal day are:

● Participants must have a valid Fayette County drivers’ license;
