All nonemergency city services will be closed Thursday and Friday in observance of Thanksgiving.

“If anybody needs an emergency service they can call 601-636-3411,” Flaggs said.
Waste Management will also be delaying trash pick up for residents in the city and county. City residents with Thursday collection will have their trash picked up Friday and residents with a Friday collection will have their trash picked up on Saturday.
