Solid waste collection in the City of Alcoa will be adjusted during Thanksgiving week. Households normally scheduled for pick up on Thursday, November 26 will receive their service on Friday, November 27. Friday's garbage and recycling routes will be run without interruption. However, there will be no bulky waste or leaf collection on Thursday or Friday; crews will attempt to collect bulky waste and leaves citywide on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Commercial and industrial waste will not be collected on Thursday; normal commercial routes will resume on Friday.

The Landfill will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving but will resume normal operations on Friday, November 27, 2008.
