The City requires rollout containers to be placed at the curb, street or road no earlier than the day before assigned collection and no later than 6:00 a.m. on the assigned collection day.
The rollout container(s) must be removed by midnight of the assigned collection day.
- Place only bagged household trash in your green rollout garbage container.
- The handles must be facing the residence, not the street. Placing the rollout correctly reduces the chances of spillage.
- All rollouts must be at least 3 feet from any obstructions. This includes vehicles, utility poles, other rollouts, brush piles, etc.
- Do not place yard waste, brush or any construction debris in your green rollout container. If you need a BROWN yard waste rollout, please call (336) 243-2489
Each rollout container is the property of the City of Lexington, and is numbered and assigned to a specific location. If you move, all rollout containers must remain at the location.
