CITY HALL, PARKS, TRANSIT AND SANITATION HOLIDAY SCHEDULE
In observance of Christmas and New Year’s holiday, the following changes are scheduled:
- City Hall, Parks Offices and Owensboro Transit System closed: Tuesday, December 24, Wednesday, December 25, and Wednesday, January 1, 2020.
- Sanitation service closed: Wednesday, December 25 and Wednesday, January 1, 2020 with a one-day delay starting with Wednesday collections on Thursday.
For our customer’s first scheduled collection day after Christmas, the Sanitation Department will modify procedures and collect extra trash that is bagged and placed next to the mobile cart. If trash is placed in cardboard boxes, be mindful that rain may weaken boxes and makes collection impossible. Please do not overfill mobile carts, unless the lid is closed, the automated collection system may drop trash in your yard or damage the cart. Please note that extra trash collection is for holiday trash only and does not include “clean-outs” of furniture, tires appliances and the like.
Natural Christmas trees (without lights, ornaments, or stands) will be collected beginning Thursday, January 2, 2020 through Tuesday, January 7, 2020 on your scheduled trash collection day. Do not place trees in plastic bags.
Due to the heavy volume of trash expected during the post-Christmas holiday, customers are encouraged to recycle at the Drop-Off Recycling Center located at 1401 West 7th Street adjacent to the James Mason Park. By recycling newspaper, aluminum cans, cardboard, magazines and steel cans, customers can free up additional space in their mobile carts for extra holiday trash. Recycling protects our environment, and it’s the right thing to do!
The employees and families of the City of Owensboro wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
