LITTLE ROCK – As families across the city prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, the City of Little Rock is reminding residents that all municipal offices will be closed on Thursday, November 27, in observance of the holiday. City officials are encouraging residents to plan accordingly for the brief pause in services.
In addition to office closures, the City has announced adjustments to its residential waste and recycling collection schedules. Both residential trash collection and WM recycling services will experience a one-day delay following the holiday. This means that routes normally scheduled for Thursday will instead be serviced on Friday, while Friday’s regular routes will move to Saturday. Residents are advised to place their trash and recycling bins out on the adjusted collection days to avoid missed pickups.
“City of Little Rock residential trash collection and WM recycling collection will be delayed one day starting on the holiday, meaning Thursday’s collection day will be Friday, and Friday’s regular schedule will run on Saturday,” officials said.
