Memorial Day closings and garbage pickup changes

Governmental offices and some businesses will close Monday, May 31, in observance of the Memorial Day holiday.

As usual, the holiday will affect some services.

In New Albany, the usual Monday garbage collection route will be delayed until Tuesday, and the Tuesday route will be collected Wednesday. This is the schedule the city typically uses for Monday holidays.

Solid-waste collection in Union County outside the city limits will go on as usual Monday. The county schedule is tied to when the Three Rivers Regional Landfill is open and that facility only closes July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.

Anyone who has government-related business this Friday afternoon might note that the offices sometimes close a few hours early before a Monday holiday.
