In observance of this important holiday, all City of Elizabethton offices will be closed on Monday, February 17. This means that if you had plans to swing by City Hall or any other municipal office, you’ll need to adjust your schedule. Whether you’ve got some paperwork to fill out or just want to say hello to your friendly community staff, keep in mind that they will be taking a well-deserved day off.
Garbage Collection Changes You Need to Know
But wait, there’s more! With the holiday coming up, the garbage collection schedule will also be a bit different that week. If you rely on that sweet, sweet garbage pickup service, you’ll want to take note!
Starting from February 17 through February 21, all garbage collection routes will be operating on an adjusted schedule. Here’s what you can expect:
- **Monday’s trash** will be picked up on Tuesday, February 18.
- **Tuesday’s garbage** will be collected on Wednesday, February 19.
- **Wednesday’s route** will follow on Thursday, February 20.
- And, to top it off, both **Thursday and Friday’s trash** collection will be handled on Friday, February 21.
You got it! Every single route for Monday through Thursday will be delayed by a day, so make sure to set that reminder on your phones, jot it down in your calendars, or even just put a big note on your fridge! Whatever works best for you.
Plan Ahead for a Clean Home
It’s crucial that residents keep this in mind to make sure your trash is picked up on the right day.

So as we gear up for Presidents Day, let’s celebrate the legacy of our leaders with a little planning on our part.
