In just a few weeks, Lexington leaf removal crews will begin making runs through neighborhoods. Weather conditions can often result in altering the curbside pick-up schedule. Deputy Streets and Roads Director Rob Allen says new this year is ‘City-Gram,' a notification system that alerts residents of any changes. “People can either get a daily text if their geographical area that they signed up for is being collected or they can get a weekly email, letting them know, hey zone A-3 is pending,” said Allen.
Allen says there is also an interactive map on the city’s web site. He says about a third of all households in Lexington are included in leaf collection routes. Collection begins November 4 and is expected to end before Christmas.?
