Trash Pickup Pushed Back One Day for the Holiday

De Armanville, AL · May 26, 2026

The flags are still out, but the holiday weekend is officially in the rearview. We’re looking at a slightly shifted schedule for the bins and the buses today as the summer routine begins in earnest.

📰 The Lead

The grills have cooled and the Memorial Day crowds have thinned, but today marks the official pivot into the summer season. With the holiday behind us, local government offices and the post office resume normal hours this morning. The most immediate impact for residents is the one-day slide in the sanitation schedule; if your cans usually hit the curb on Tuesday, plan to set them out on Wednesday instead. Meanwhile, city crews are beginning their post-holiday sweep of Oxford Lake and Choccolocco Park to prepare for the surge of youth baseball and softball tournaments slated for the coming weeks. It is a quiet morning for most, but the hum of lawnmowers will likely be the soundtrack of the afternoon as neighbors catch up on yard work.

🏙️ Local Pulse

  • Sanitation Schedule Shift — All residential garbage and recycling routes will run one day behind schedule through Saturday to account for the holiday.

  • Oxford Lake Pool Hours — Public swim hours officially expand this week, with lifeguards on duty daily starting at 10:00 AM for the summer.

  • County Road 109 Maintenance — Crews are scheduled to resume shoulder work near the interstate interchange this morning, so expect minor flagger delays.

🌧️ Today's Outlook

  • High 83°F · Low 71°F — Rain (44% chance of precipitation)
    • Keep an umbrella handy for those afternoon showers that often follow a humid holiday.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • The De Armanville Community Garden
    • Tucked behind the community center, this plot serves as a living classroom for local students. Originally started as a small 4-H project, it now produces hundreds of pounds of produce annually. The soil here is famously rich, thanks to decades of Choccolocco Creek silt.
