City Hall, Parks Administration Office and Owensboro Transit System will be closed on:

Christmas Eve - Thursday, December 24, 2020

Christmas Day - Friday, December 25, 2020

New Year’s Day - Friday, January 1, 2021

 

Sanitation services will not run on:

 Friday, December 25 (collection will be on Saturday, December 26)

 Friday, January 1, 2021 (collection will be on Saturday, January 2)

 

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 make 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 Saturday, January 2, 2021 through Thursday, January 7, 2021 on your scheduled trash collection day. Do not place trees in plastic bags. 

 

 

The employees and families of the City of Owensboro wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
