Neighborhood Update: Post-Storm Yard Debris Pickup & Flood Relief Survey
Following our recent severe weather, many residents are dealing with storm cleanup as well as yard and basement flooding. Below is key information regarding temporary city waste rules and how to request long-term flood relief for our area.
1. Free Unbundled Yard Waste Pickup
- Pickup Rules: City curbside collection will pick up unbundled storm debris on your regular collection day through Friday, August 21.
- Prep & Placement: Cut branches into sections of 4 feet or less and stack debris between the sidewalk and curb (do not place in the street or block the sidewalk).
- Yard Waste Carts: You can use your gray yard waste cart, but ensure the lid closes completely.
- Requirements After Aug. 21: Branches must be bundled with twine, under 4 feet in length, and under 50 lbs.
- Self-Haul Option: Fayette County residents can haul up to 2 free pickup truck loads per month to the Haley Pike Waste Management Facility (4216 Hedger Lane; Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 8 AM–5 PM).
- Missed Pickups: If your yard waste or any waste collection carts are not picked up by 4 p.m. on your regular collection day Call 311, (859) 425-2255, or report online via LexCall. Sign up for text or email alerts about changes to the waste collection schedule at lexingtonky.gov/311alerts
2. Help Address Neighborhood Flooding & Storm Risks –
LFUC is currently updating its Hazard Mitigation Plan to prepare for risks like flash flooding, severe storms, extreme heat, and drought. Sharing our experiences directly impacts how local resources and mitigation funds are allocated to prevent future storm damage. Here is how you can participate:
- Take the Community Survey: It takes about 10 minutes and is open until August 30, 2026. You can complete it online via the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Hazard Mitigation Plan page.
- Attend Public Open House #2:
- When: Wednesday, September 2, 2026 | 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
- Where: Marksbury Family Branch Library (2197 Versailles Rd)
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey so our neighborhood’s drainage and flooding issues are heard!
For city-related council inquiries, contact the Office of 10th District Councilmember Dave Sevigny at 859-280-8263.
Stay safe and let a neighbor know if you need help moving heavy debris.

Lexington News & Resources
No Solar on Farmland (for now)
On Thursday, July 9, Lexington’s Planning Commission unanimously voted to reject a Council-proposed zoning policy change that would allow industrial-scale ground mounted solar facilities on agricultrually zoned land. It was recommended to remove these rural industrial developments from the proposal, stating that placing them in agricultural zones goes against the city’s Comprehensive Plan and Rural Land Management Plan.
What’s Next? This recommendation now goes to the LFUCG Urban County Council, which has the final say on the policy change.
The Meeting: Council will review the recommendation at their Work Session on Tuesday, August 18 at 3:00 PM in the Council Chambers.
How to Help: Public comment will be accepted at the start of the meeting. Because several Councilmembers still support placing solar on farmland, neighborhood voices will be crucial to preserving our rural and agricultural areas. Keep an eye out for updates on how to get involved and make your voice heard as the meeting date gets closer! Visit Fayette Alliance for more information.
