The City of Tallahassee has announced changes to its services in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Administrative offices will be closed on Thursday and Friday, November 27-28.
Garbage, recycling, bulky items, and yard waste collection for residents within city limits will shift by one day later than usual during the week of November 23-29.
