Recycling Made Simple for Everyone

Whether you're cleaning out the garage or managing a business, we accept a wide range of materials — all free for Lexington residents.

Household Recyclables

Paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, glass jars, and aluminum cans — the everyday items you sort at home, welcomed here in bulk.

Yard & Landscape Waste

Leaves, grass clippings, branches, and garden trimmings — seasonal cleanups are easier when you have a place to take them.

E-Waste & Electronics

Old computers, monitors, TVs, and small appliances — keep hazardous electronics out of landfills and into proper recycling streams.

Household Bulk Items

Large furniture, appliances, and construction debris — if it doesn't fit in your curbside bin, we can likely take it here.

Hazardous Materials

Paint, oils, batteries, and chemical containers — handled safely so your family and the environment stay protected.

Business & Commercial

Lexington businesses of all sizes can use the facility for their recycling and waste diversion needs — no appointment required.

About Us

Lexington's Community Recycling Partner

The LFUCG Regional Recycling Facility has been a cornerstone of Lexington's waste-diversion efforts for over three decades. We're not a private hauler or a for-profit operation — we're a public service built by and for the people of Fayette County.

Free for Residents

Lexington-Fayette residents drop off recyclables at no charge. Just show up during open hours with your load.

Environmentally Responsible

Everything we accept is routed to the proper processing stream — landfill is always the last resort.

Friendly, Helpful Staff

Not sure if something is accepted? Our team is always glad to point you in the right direction.
