 Hello Columbia and welcome to This Week in the City. As we begin our week on Monday, November 21st, we kick off the Animal Adoption Special for November. It's the thankful adoption special, which is going on right now at Columbia Animal Services. So please reach out and adopt a pet during this Thanksgiving and holiday season. The City of Columbia Solid Waste Division will modify their schedule for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Solid Waste collections that are normally picked up on Thursdays will be moved to Wednesday, November 23rd and pick up will return to a normal schedule on Friday, November 25th. Again, there'll be no pickups on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 24th. Also this week, we want to make sure that you know that city offices will be closed officially for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 24th and Friday, November 25th. You may reach all emergency services by calling 911, but city offices will be closed for business. You may conduct business online on our website for various city services. We hope you have a safe holiday weekend for Thanksgiving. Also, we want to announce that there will be no food truck Friday on Friday, November 25th due to the holiday and due to closing of city offices. Again, no food truck Friday on Friday, November 25th.
