Palm Bay Thanksgiving Schedule: City Closures and Trash Pickup
The Palm Bay Thanksgiving schedule includes City Hall closures on Thursday and Friday, while Republic Services shifts Thursday routes to Saturday.
City Offices and Sanitation Adjustments
Palm Bay, FL – Residents preparing for the holiday need to mark two distinct operational changes. While the Palm Bay Thanksgiving schedule closes administrative offices for four consecutive days, sanitation routes will only see a modification for specific customers. This split schedule ensures essential waste services continue despite the administrative pause.
City Hall Closures Confirmed
According to correspondence from the City of Palm Bay, all administrative offices will observe the Thanksgiving holiday with a two-day closure.
Thursday, November 27: Closed
Friday, November 28: Closed
Residents attempting to conduct city business in person, such as permit applications or utility payments, will need to wait until operations resume the following Monday. However, online payment portals and emergency services remain active throughout the holiday break.
Republic Services Route Changes
Republic Services has issued a specific alert regarding residential collection. The modification strictly affects customers with a regular Thursday pickup day.
If your standard collection day is Thursday, November 27, your waste and recycling will instead be collected on Saturday, November 29.
This shift allows crews to observe the holiday without skipping a week of service. Notably, the alert released by Republic Services specifies changes for “Your Thursday... collection service.” It does not indicate a slide for Friday routes; therefore, Friday customers should have their carts at the curb as usual unless further notified.
Planning Your Weekend
With the administrative long weekend confirmed, residents should plan accordingly. While City Hall remains dark on Friday, the waste collection infrastructure continues to operate, ensuring the post-holiday cleanup proceeds smoothly.
Residents are encouraged to verify their specific route status if they are unsure, but for most, the primary disruption is limited to the Thursday-to-Saturday shift.
