Residents of the City of Brookhaven will have the same household garbage pickup schedule during Christmas week and New Year’s week as any other week. Waste Management will pick up on regular schedules.

Although WM will be closed on both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, no household pickups are scheduled for Wednesdays — pickups are on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

Dumpsters are also available at five locations in the city for extra bagged household garbage. These dumpsters will be marked “City of Brookhaven” and will be available from Tuesday, Dec. 24, through Monday, Dec. 30, at the following locations:

• A. L. Lott Sportsplex parking area, South Martin Luther King Jr. Drive
