Last minute grocery run? Not sure when to take out the trash? Need to contact local officials? Some Macon-Bibb County government services, banks and mail carriers will be closed in observance of Memorial Day.

All Macon-Bibb County government offices and court systems will be closed on Memorial Day.

The county Solid Waste Convenience Center #1 at 1010 11th Street, will be closed Monday and will reopen Tuesday. The other waste centers at 4214 Fulton Mill Road, and 1520 Ninadel Drive will remain open for the holiday.

Trash and yard waste collection will not run Monday, and will instead be delayed Tuesday through Saturday. If your normal pick-up day is Monday, it will be Tuesday. If your regular pick-up day is Friday, it will be Saturday.

Recycling and bulk waste collection will not be affected, as they were not scheduled for that week.
