ATLANTA—The City of Atlanta announced the Department of Public Works (DPW) Office of Solid Waste Services will be closed in observance of Labor Day on Monday, September 6, 2021. The collection of garbage, recycling, and bulk collections will be suspended on September 6 but will resume at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, September 7. The schedule has been revised to include a one-day delay throughout the holiday week. Customers whose regular collection day is Friday, September 10 will receive collection services on Saturday, September 11.
