LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – Lexington’s Department of Environmental Quality and Public Works is asking people to donate their yard campaign signs.
Lexington’s Division of Environmental Services says that they have partnered with businesses and organizations throughout the county for a special yard sign and stake collection. The stakes are reused and the signs are repurposed for craft projects. Stakes that cannot be reused are recycled through LFUCG’s metal recycling program.
They are asking people to not put yard signs or stakes in recycling containers. They say that Yard signs and stakes harm equipment at the Recycle Center.
Environmental Services will have collection bins at the following locations from Wednesday, November 9, to Tuesday, November 22.
