Princeton residents who have their garbage picked up on Wednesdays will have it picked up on Thursday the week of Dec. 23 and Dec. 30 because of the holidays.

Princeton city office doors will be closed Dec. 24 and 25, and Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, however, residents whose garbage is scheduled to be picked up Tuesday, Dec. 24, and Tuesday, Dec. 31, will not be affected.

Additionally, residents whose garbage is scheduled to be picked up on Thursday, Dec. 26, and Thursday, Jan. 2, will not be affected.
