Attention Kingsport Residents: Thanksgiving Holiday Hours Are Here!
As Thanksgiving approaches, the City of Kingsport wants to keep you in the loop about changes to their holiday schedule! If you’re looking to give thanks this year, you might want to take note of some important details regarding office hours, garbage collections, and even landfill operations.
City Offices Closure
First up, don’t plan on visiting any city offices on November 28 and 29. That’s right—city offices will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. So, if you have any business to take care of, make sure to get that done before those dates to avoid any inconveniences!
Garbage and Trash Services
The Thanksgiving festivities also mean some changes to your regular garbage and trash services. Here’s the scoop: there will be no garbage or trash collection on Thanksgiving Day. That’s right, no driving around the neighborhood looking for those garbage trucks—because they won’t be working!
But don’t worry too much! All collections are being moved around to ensure your trash doesn’t pile up. Thursday’s collections will take place on Friday, and you can expect Friday’s collections to happen on Saturday. This includes both trash and yard waste pick-ups, so be sure to have everything ready before the trucks arrive!
Demolition Landfill Closure
If you’ve got plans to visit the city’s demolition landfill, take note: it will be closed on November 28 and November 29 as well. For those looking to drop off items after the holiday, the landfill will reopen on November 30 from 8 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.. After that, they’ll be back to their regular hours starting on December 2. Make sure to check your bins and debris, and plan accordingly!
Prepare for the Festivities!
With these changes in place, it’s the perfect time to prepare for the big day. Whether it’s planning your Thanksgiving feast, picking out the perfect turkey, or just spending time with family, being aware of these schedule changes can help ensure that this holiday is a smooth-sailing experience.
So gather up those family recipes, set the table, and get ready to share what you’re thankful for this year! Remember that these adjusted hours are all about keeping our community running smoothly during the holiday season.
Mark the Dates!
In summary, Kingsport offices will be closed on November 28 and 29, and please make sure you adjust your trash collection plans accordingly. Thursday’s picks are moving to Friday, and Friday’s to Saturday. And don’t forget about the landfill closures! Mark those dates on your calendar, and don’t let trash day surprise you!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of Kingsport! Enjoy your celebrations, and let’s make sure that our community comes together as we count our blessings this holiday season.
Stay safe, stay informed, and most importantly, be thankful!
