Holiday Trash Pickup Schedules

Though Christmas and New Year's days are on Sundays, the city of Atlanta's public works department will observe the days after the holidays — Dec. 26 and Jan. 2 — as its day off.

Regular collections resume Tuesday, Dec. 27 and Tuesday, Jan. 3 those weeks.

Containers — Herbie Curbies and recycling bins — should be placed by the curb by 7 p.m. the night before collection day and removed by 7 p.m. on collection day.

Those neighborhoods in East Atlanta Patch serviced by DeKalb County should observe these changes:

• Regular collection schedule will resume on Thursday, Dec. 29.

New Year's week:
