City office closure

City of Odessa offices will be closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day.

Customers with roll out trash carts normally serviced on Monday can expect pick up on Tuesday.

During the holiday period, City trash receptacles should be reserved for perishable items only.

To avoid an overflowing accumulation of trash and debris in dumpsters, citizens are asked to recycle items at the Odessa Recycle Center, 816 W. 42nd St. Drop off windows for cardboard, plastics, paper, and aluminum cans are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Learn more about accepted recyclable items and hours of operation.

Trash, debris and bulky items piled next to the alley dumpsters is illegal and prevents the Solid Waste trucks from being able to pick up the containers when service resumes.
