The City of Valdosta will be closed for the Christmas Day and New Year’s Day holidays.

The Sanitation Division will NOT collect residential garbage, recyclables, yard waste or special pick-ups on Friday, Dec. 25 or Friday, Jan. 1. Citizens who normally have their sanitation collected on Fridays should place their garbage, recyclables, yard waste and special pick-ups at the curbside by 5 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 28 and Monday, Jan. 4 for both Friday and Monday pickups.

City sanitation trucks pick up from over 3,500 residents per day. The Public Works Department appreciates citizens’ cooperation and patience as sanitation workers do their best to pick up both routes—over 7,000 customers—on Monday. Since yard waste and special pickups use additional vehicles and manpower, citizens are urged to minimize the amount of yard trash they place curbside throughout the adjusted holiday schedule.
