Trash, trees, timing: holiday details for Macon-Bibb - maconbibb.us

Macon-Bibb County consolidated government offices will be closed a couple of days for the New Year holiday. We want to make sure you have all the information you need for a fun and tidy holiday season. 

Government offices are closed Friday, December 30 and Monday, January 2 in observance of New Year’s Day. All emergency services will remain active as usual. 

Trash and recycling collection will continue its regular schedule, with no interruptions to your curbside pickup. If you’re generating a lot more trash this time of year, you can use our Convenience Centers at 1010 11th Street and 4214 Fulton Mill Road (behind Animal Welfare). Those hours will shift due to the holidays (listed below), so check your calendar to find out the best time to take it. 

11th Street Convenience Center 

Closed Sunday, 1/1 & Monday, 1/2 

Reopens Tuesday, 1/3 from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. 

Fulton Mill Road Convenience Center 

Closed Sunday, 1/1 – Wednesday, 1/4/23 

Reopens Thursday, 1/5 from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. 

 Our Solid Waste Department wants to remind everyone of best practices for disposing of your holiday waste. 

  • Do break down boxes to ensure they can fit inside of the recycling containers; 
  • Don’t stack boxes next to the garbage or recycling carts which will hinder proper pick up and delay the drivers; 
  • Don’t overstuff and pack containers; it makes it difficult to empty; 
  • Do Use the Convenience Centers to dispose of any oversized boxes, electronics, toys, etc. 

 As for your Christmas trees, you’ve got several options to dispose of them safely. Ryland Environmental will pick them up at the curb as a bulk item, not yard waste. Click here to find out your bulk waste pickup days to find out your bulk waste pickup days. You can bring them to our Convenience Centers during operating hours. 

We also encourage everyone to bring your trees to Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful’s annual “Bring One for the Chipper” event on Saturday, January 7, 2023, at Historic Luther Williams Field (225 Willie Smokie Glover Drive) from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. You can drop your tree off and receive free seed packets at the same time. Those trees, and the ones collected at the Convenience Centers, will be recycled and turned into mulch or used for fish habitats. All trees must be unbound and free of all decorations. 

 Recreation Closures 

Due to the holiday, all Recreation Centers are closed on Friday, December 30, 2022 through Monday, January 2, 2023.  

All Tennis and Pickleball Centers will have normal hours on Friday, December 30, 2022, with modified hours on Saturday, December 31, 2022 from 8:30am – 2:30pm and closed on Sunday, January 1, 2023.

Passengers and airport staff alike were friendly and polite. The airplane seat offered enough room for both of my legs and both of my arms. We took off on time and landed early.

It was also in Johannesburg, South Africa, not in the US, and happened under a particular set of circumstances — a domestic flight on the Saturday afternoon of a long holiday weekend when most travelers had already reached their destinations.
