Athens-Clarke County Solid Waste customers should brace themselves for a brief pause in compost, garbage, recycling, and leaf and limb collections this upcoming Memorial Day. The Athens-Clarke County Solid Waste Department has officially announced that their typical roster of services will be on hold next Monday, a decision made in honor of the Memorial Day Holiday.
Adjustments in waste collection schedules are set to rapidly unfurl for both residential and commercial clients not nestled within the confines of the downtown district. In a statement obtained by SFist, the department details, "Monday service will be collected on Tuesday. Tuesday will be collected on Wednesday. Wednesday will be collected on Thursday. Thursday and Friday will be collected on Friday." Residents are prompted to make sure to position their trash and recycling roll-carts out on the curb by the sharp hour of 7:00 a.m. on their designated pick-up day.
SFist also notes that the normal pick-up schedule is poised to triumphantly resume on Monday, June 2nd, for those customers affected by the shift. Meanwhile, those whose refuse and recycling demands are met within the Downtown District's borders will witness no interruption, with collections set to occur as per their regular schedule throughout the Memorial Day week.
