Thanksgiving Holiday Hours Announced for Kingsport Residents
Hey there, Kingsport! As we gear up for one of the most beloved holidays of the year – Thanksgiving – it’s important to take note of some changes to city services that will help ensure everyone has a smooth and joyful holiday weekend. So grab your coffee and let’s dive into the details!
City Offices Closing for the Holiday
First things first, mark your calendars! The City of Kingsport’s offices will be closed on November 28 and November 29. This means that you won’t be able to conduct any city-related business during these days. It’s a perfect opportunity to spend time with family, enjoy delicious feasts, and take a well-deserved break.
Changes to Garbage and Trash Services
Now, onto the trash—literally! Thanksgiving is a time for feasting, and that means plans are changing for garbage and trash services! There will be no garbage or trash collections on Thanksgiving Day. Instead, Thursday’s collections are being moved to Friday, and Friday’s collections will take place on Saturday. So, if you’re using disposable plates and silverware for your Thanksgiving feast, make sure you keep that in mind!
This change also applies to yard waste pick-ups, so if you’re planning on cleaning up after your holiday gatherings, be sure you remember the adjusted schedule. It might be a little different than what you usually expect, but it’s all in the spirit of ensuring that our community stays clean and beautiful during the festivities.
Demolition Landfill Availability
Have you been meaning to tackle that home renovation project? Well, you’ll need to plan around the holidays! The city’s demolition landfill will be closed on November 28 and November 29, but don’t worry—it will reopen on November 30 from 8 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. That’s right – you can get back to those projects just in time for the month of December!
After November 30, expect normal hours of operation to resume starting December 2. This gives you the perfect opportunity to make use of the landfill as you prepare for holiday guests or take on renovation projects while everyone is in the holiday spirit!
Plan Ahead for a Joyful Holiday
It’s essential for residents to plan ahead and manage their waste accordingly during this holiday season. With all the cooking and cleaning up involved with Thanksgiving celebrations, it’s easy to get a little sidetracked. Just remember to check your schedules and keep these dates in mind!
In conclusion, Kingsport, the city is giving us all a friendly reminder to take a breather during this busy holiday season. While city offices will be closed and services adjusted, this holiday is all about gathering with family, sharing scrumptious food, and connecting with loved ones. So let’s raise a glass to that and to the hardworking city staff who help keep our community running smoothly throughout the year.
Happy Thanksgiving, Kingsport!
Enjoy your time off, make wonderful memories, and don’t forget to share your Thanksgiving stories with your neighbors once the holiday hustle is over!
