With a heat advisory in Lexington through Friday evening, the city’s Division of Waste Management will adjust its regular waste collection times.
Commercial pickups Thursday and Friday will begin at 3:30 a.m., while residential pickups on Thursday and Friday will start at 4:30 a.m. These times will reduce employees’ risk of heat-related issues such as dehydration and heat stroke by finishing all routes before temperatures peak.
Waste carts should be placed on the curb the night before collection to ensure service.
For more information, call LexCall at 311 or (859) 425-2255.
