DeKalb County residents should be aware that the Memorial Day holiday will affect the schedule for their sanitation services. To honor the day of remembrance, there will be no garbage, recycling, or yard trimmings collection across the county on Monday, May 26. This announcement was made in an effort to keep residents informed about the changes to their usual service days due to the observance of Memorial Day, as noted on the DeKalb County official website.
Sanitation services will be delayed by one day during the week after the holiday. Monday's pickup moves to Tuesday, May 27, Tuesday’s to Wednesday, and so on, with Thursday's collection happening on Friday, May 30. The county's Sanitation Division confirmed the changes and advised staying informed, as detailed by the county's announcement.
It's also noteworthy for residents aiming to visit the North Transfer Station, which will maintain its operation with modified holiday hours from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Memorial Day. However, several other county services associated with waste management, including the Customer Care call center, Central Transfer Station, and the Seminole Road Landfill, will be temporarily closed on the holiday.
Residents seeking more information or needing to clarify the revised schedule have been directed to reach out to the Sanitation Division’s Customer Care team.
