Memorial Day Holiday Means Services Altered For Lake Charles And SWLA

Coming up on Monday, the nation will celebrate the Memorial Day holiday. Most of you fortunate enough to have the day off will be able to enjoy a three-day weekend. That will be a welcome sight for most who will try and enjoy an extra day to spend with family, friends, or outdoors.

Just remember what Memorial Day is all about though. Memorial Day is a day to remember those who have died in service to our country. The men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country and for us to be able to live the life we live here in America.

With the holiday fast approaching, all of our city, parish, and federal buildings and offices will be closed to observe the holiday. This will mean a pause on services you are used to getting during the week.

The City of Lake Charles will observe Memorial Day on Monday, May 27, 2024. Be advised that the Lake Charles City Hall will be closed on this day, and there will not be any trash or garbage picked up on Monday, May 27, 2024.

Katie Harington with the city of Lake Charles said,

Changes in trash and garbage pickup are as follows:

·         Trash and garbage normally picked up on Monday will be rescheduled for pickup on Tuesday, May 28, 2024.

·         Trash and garbage normally picked up on Tuesday will be rescheduled for pickup on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.

·         Thursday and Friday routes will remain on their regular schedules.

Have a great holiday and stay safe out there.
