Spring cleaning? We need your gently-used school supplies! The City of Lexington is partnering with Lexington Middle School to give your old school supplies a new purpose. Until June 22, you can donate new and gently-used school supplies to students who will need them next school year.
Donations will be given to Lexington Middle School and other Fayette County middle schools, depending on how many supplies are collected. Supplies will be distributed by the school to students who need them. Your donations will join school supplies collected by Transylvania University students at the end of their spring semester.
Accepted items include binders, backpacks, notebooks, pencils, dry erase markers, pencil cases and cleaning wipes. All supplies should be in good condition, with no old stickers, ink marks or tears.
Donations can be taken to Lexington’s Electronics Recycling Center, 1306 Versailles Road, during operating hours. The center is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., Wednesday from noon – 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. – noon. Holiday hours and information about electronics recycling can be found at lexingtonky.gov/ewaste.
