OES CHRISTMAS TRASH, GARBAGE AND RECYCLING SCHEDULE

Christmas 2020

During the week of Christmas, Opelika Environmental Services will not run routes on Thursday or Friday. Thursday routes will run a day ahead of regular schedule. If your garbage, trash or recycling is usually picked up on Thursday, it will be picked up on Wednesday! Please have your carts out early, because we may run earlier than normal. The city would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday!
