LOAN-A-BOX

Spring Cleanup/Neighborhood Cleanup/House & Yard Cleanup

The Loan-A-Box (formerly the Loan A Truck) program is a service where a resident or non-profit organization can schedule to have a box delivered to you overnight through the weekdays or on Friday for the whole weekend. You can then load the 10x6x4 box for a total of ten (10) cubic yards with most types of debris and we will haul it away. This program is available to all citizens of Fayette County.

This program is not for businesses or private contractors.

The Loan-A-Box program now runs all year round (Previously the Loan A Truck program only ran from March 15th through September 15th each year) and is scheduled on a first-come, first-to-be served basis. The safe usage of the box is very important, and we ask that you review the guidelines for acceptable and unacceptable items.

We are pleased to be able to offer this program to the residents of Fayette County. A fee of $38.00 is required in advance to cover the landfill disposal cost. This is not a rental fee.

We will do our best to honor your scheduled date for the Loan-A-Box, but breakdowns and emergency situations do occur occasionally. If this happens, we will contact you as soon as possible and another date will be scheduled. If you need assistance or would like more information on the Loan-A-Box program, please call LexCall at (859) 425-2255 or send an email.
