Valdosta Announces New Years Day Holiday Sanitation Schedule

The City of Valdosta will be closed for the New Year’s Day holiday. 

No sanitation services will be offered for New Year’s Day, which falls on Jan. 1, and is one of the only two holidays that sanitation workers take off for the entire year. The Sanitation Division will NOT collect residential garbage and yard waste or bulk item pickups on these dates. However, citizens who normally have their sanitation collected on Friday should place their garbage and yard waste at the curbside by 5 a.m. on Jan. 4 for Friday 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 bulk item pickups use additional vehicles and manpower, citizens are urged to minimize the amount of yard trash they place curbside throughout the adjusted holiday schedule.

As a reminder, City of Valdosta Recycling Drop Sites are open 24/7. Residents can place their recyclables at one of the three drop sites throughout the city.

-City Lot at the corner of South Lee Street and East Savannah Avenue
-Five-Points Shopping Center
-City Lot on Hill Avenue (1025 W Hill Ave)

The City of Valdosta wishes all its residents a safe and happy holiday. If you have any questions, please call 229-259-3590 or visit www.valdostacity.com/residential-sanitation-services.
