Updated Holiday Collection Schedule

Body

The City of Hendersonville is updating the holiday garbage, recycling, and brush schedule for City of Hendersonville garbage customers. 

This change allows sanitation crews to enjoy City holidays with their families, while also ensuring customers no longer have to wait a full week for a missed holiday pickup. At the November City Council meeting, staff also pointed out that running collection routes on holidays creates a maintenance and safety concern if trucks break down, as the City garage is closed on City holidays. 

The tradeoff and benefit of the schedule update to customers is that crews will be doubling up their routes on the next available business day, meaning no holiday route customers will be waiting an entire week for collection. Holiday routes will be picked up on the next available workday, along with that day's regular route.
