Atlanta residents who normally get their trashed picked up on Thursday or Friday will have to wait a couple of days longer, the city announced.

The Department of Public Works pushed pickup dates back for the Thanksgiving holiday. There will also be no trash pickup on Black Friday.

Residents whose normal trash pickup falls on those days will get service on Saturday and Monday, respectively, the city said. Because of this, trash service will be pushed back one day for all residents through the week of Dec. 2-6. For example, Monday pickups will happen on Tuesday, and that will continue for each day, all week.

Regularly scheduled collection resumes Dec. 9. Anyone with questions is asked to call 404-546-0311 or visit www.atl311.com.
