In observance of the Fourth of July holiday this week, the trash and recycling pickup schedule in DeKalb County is being slightly altered.

If your garbage, recycling and yard trimmings are normally picked up on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday, your collection schedule will not change, the county said in a statement.
