Happy New Year, Lexingtonians. To start the year off on the right foot, we need a little help from you.

Every morning, more than 34,000 of you welcome us into your inbox. And each day, we do our very best to provide you with timely, relevant information so you can get the most out of the city we call home.

We’re asking you to take two minutes to tell us a little more about yourself because the more we know about who you are, the better we can deliver information that you care about. Just two minutes. Feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer. We don’t want to pry. (Okay, we do, but for a good reason.)

We’ll be selecting one lucky survey participant to win $500. We’re rooting for you, LEX.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

— Molly + Aayat

Recycling your Christmas tree in Lexington

Sure, the holidays are all fun and games — but if you celebrate Christmas, you know that sooner or later you have to deal with that “Night of the Living Dead” tree in the corner. That doesn’t mean it’s dumpster-bound. Instead, we have some tips on how to put an old tree to good use.

Curbside pickup

The City of Lexington will recycle your tree for you: all you have to do is bring it out to the curb starting Wednesday, Jan. 3. Reminder: you’ll need to remove the tinsel, garland, tree stand + ornaments before bringing it out.

Building a new habitat

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife collects Christmas trees, with lights and ornaments removed, to be used in the construction of fish habitats across the Commonwealth.

Lexington’s tree drop-off location is located at Jacobson Park in the Paddle Craft Parking Lot, 4001 Athens-Boonesboro Rd. It will be open from Tuesday, Dec. 26 to Monday, Jan. 15.
