The City of Marietta has announced that in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, city administrative offices, as well as Marietta Power and Water administrative offices, will remain closed on Monday, January 19. Residents should plan accordingly, as the closure will affect their regular routine and access to city services on this federal holiday dedicated to the civil rights leader.
With the upcoming holiday, residents and businesses in Marietta should expect temporary changes to the trash collection schedule. The Public Works Department announced that garbage, brush, and yard waste, and recycling will not be collected on their usual days during the holiday week. All sanitation services will instead follow a revised schedule for that week only, as city crews continue operations on an adjusted timeline to maintain street cleanliness, as per the city's announcement.
Marietta residents who wish to avoid a pileup of garbage bags or the ire of neighbors should direct their browsers to the Marietta Trash Talk app or visit the city website at mariettaga.gov for the specifics of the holiday week sanitation schedule. This information is designed to guide residents through the holiday adjustments and ensure that their discards are dealt with in a timely manner.
