The DeKalb County Sanitation Division announced that they are revising their collection schedule this week.

DeKalb County will not pick up residential garbage this Thursday because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Here is the new schedule:

All Sanitation Division administrative offices, including customer service, will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 26 and Friday, Nov. 27.

DeKalb County switched to one-day-per-week trash and recycling pickup during the week earlier this year.

Only county-issued garbage roll carts and recycling containers will be serviced, according to a new rule that went into effect in October.
