Mission Statement
The mission of Lexington's Environmental
Services department is to reduce the generation of solid waste
within the community by working to educate the residents to reduce
the solid waste they generate, accelerate recycling and composting
efforts, commit the remainder of the solid waste to energy
disposal, and reduce the toxicity of the waste stream.
The Town's residential waste management program
includes refuse collection and disposal, recycling, recycling
education, composting, special collections of televisions,
computers and other electronic equipment and hazardous waste
collection operations.
