Lexington Area Solid Waste is the local disposal site off NE‑21 that people from Lexington and nearby farms use for household trash, yard cleanup and recyclables. Neighbors bring pickups, trailers and the odd leftover from a home project.
Drive up and there's a small booth by the entrance with a wide gravel yard beyond it. Expect to stop at the front for check-in and then pull forward to where the bins, roll-offs or piles are set up for unloading. The site is open and a little noisy with trucks and loaders moving about, so back up carefully. Weekends and spring cleanup season often mean lines, so be prepared to wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loads before coming so nothing blows out on the road or in the yard.
- Sort bulky items beforehand - separating brush, loose debris and large metal pieces will speed unloading.
- Bring help for heavy items and plan for potential wait times on busy days, especially weekends and in spring.
