The holiday season is here and coming up Thursday, folks around Southwest Louisiana will be celebrating Thanksgiving with friends and family. People will be cooking big meals to feed the entire family, resulting in a lot of trash accumulating.

With the holiday comes closures of businesses, facilities, and services you are used to having daily.  Banks, city and state agencies, and local public services will all be shut down to observe the Thanksgiving holiday.
