La ciudad de Lexington suspenderá la recolección de reciclables el martes 23 de junio debido a problemas mecánicos en el Centro de Reciclaje causados por materiales mojados tras las lluvias intensas, y cualquier material dejado ese día será enviado al relleno sanitario. Los residentes con recolección el martes deben evitar colocar sus contenedores azules en la acera si es posible, ya que el centro no tiene espacio de almacenamiento disponible. Además, el centro rechaza temporalmente materiales de empresas privadas de recolección de residuos en el condado de Fayette y áreas circundantes.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The city will not collect recyclables on Tuesday, June 23, as the Lexington Recycle Center faces mechanical difficulties caused by wet materials. Any recyclables set out for collection that day will be sent to the landfill, city officials said.
Heavy rain has caused wet recyclables to create mechanical issues at the facility. The city is asking residents with Tuesday curbside collection to avoid placing their blue recycling carts at the curb if possible, as the Recycle Center currently has no storage space for additional materials.
The Lexington Recycle Center is also temporarily refusing materials from private waste haulers operating in Fayette County and surrounding areas. Residents with private collection services should contact their waste providers directly for updates on recycling pickup schedules.
The city previously experienced a major equipment failure in March when a conveyor belt motor, gearbox and shaft failed at the center, requiring a temporary shutdown.
City officials also announced changes to waste collection around the July 4 holiday. There will be no city waste collection on Friday, July 3. Residents who normally have Friday curbside collection will have a makeup collection day on Wednesday, July 1, before the holiday.
Residents can sign up for text or email alerts about future changes to waste collection schedules.
