Lexington’s City Council continues to explore ways to change how it handles waste in the bluegrass community. Members of a Council committee got a long-awaited consultant study on ways to reduce garbage going to the landfill.
Council members took two separate trips in 2015 and 2022 to examine a waste digester program in Sevierville Tennessee. It uses five rotary drums to break down waste into compostable material. Environmental Quality and Public Works Commissioner Nancy Albright said waste from a high tourism area is different from that in Fayette County.
