As the Fourth of July celebrations draw near, Athens-Clarke County Solid Waste Department is making adjustments to its service schedule to accommodate the holiday. Residents and businesses should be aware that no compost, garbage, recycling, and leaf and limb collections will take place on Friday, due to the observance of Independence Day.
According to Athens-Clarke County's announcement, the revised schedule for solid waste pickup for residential and commercial customers outside the downtown district is straightforward: collections will remain as usual from Monday to Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday services will both be executed on Thursday. The department emphasizes the importance of having trash and recycling roll-carts out by 7:00 a.m. on the assigned pickup day to ensure a smooth collection process.
For those located within the Downtown District, no changes will disrupt your solid waste services; they will proceed on their regular schedule. This marks a solid effort by ACC to minimize inconveniences for businesses and residents in this bustling area of the city.
Residents and businesses are advised to plan ahead for these changes. The department encourages all to take note of the altered pick-up times and plan their waste disposal accordingly to avoid any unnecessary buildup of trash during the celebratory weekend. Regular collection schedules will resume on July 7, as noted in the original posting from the Athens-Clarke County government website.
