Ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays, the City of Owensboro announced changes for their services throughout town.
City Hall and the Parks Administration Office will be closed on:
- Friday, Dec. 24
- Monday, Dec. 27
- Friday, Dec. 31
The Owensboro Transit System will be closed on:
- Friday, Dec. 24
- Saturday, Dec. 25
- Saturday, Jan. 1
Sanitation services will not change their schedule for the holiday but they are modifying the procedures and will be collecting extra trash that is bagged and placed next to the mobile cart on the regular collection day.
With that change, they warn people of the weather ahead when it comes to trash collection exterior to the carts.
If trash is placed in cardboard, be mindful that rain may weaken boxes and make collection impossible. Do not overfill mobile carts; unless the lid is closed the automated collection system may drop trash in your yard or damage the cart.
Note that extra trash collection is for holiday trash only and does not include “clean-outs” of furniture, tires, appliances, etc.
Natural Christmas tree collection (without lights, ornaments or stands) will be collected beginning Jan. 3 through Jan. 7, 2022, on the regularly scheduled trash collection day. Do not place trees in plastic bags.
