LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ / Press Release) – This year’s fall mulch giveaway for Lexington residents will take place on Saturday, September 25.

Yard waste collected by Lexington’s Waste Management Division over the past few months is now available as mulch. Some of this material can be picked up at 1631 Old Frankfort Pike between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m., or while supplies last. Residents are asked not to arrive before 8 a.m.

Mulch will be available on a first come, first served basis and is limited to one truckload per person.

There will be a self-loading area for residents who collect smaller amounts of mulch. Due to demand, those who load mulch themselves will be limited to a loading time of 15 minutes. Those who self-load should bring shovels, bags and other supplies. The city is unable to provide tools or bags at the event.

The event is restricted to residents of Fayette County. Participants will need to bring their driver’s license with a Lexington address.

Residents should enter through Jimmie Campbell Drive and look for signage that will direct them to the event site.

For more information, call LexCall 311 at (859) 425-2255.
