EWSU and Republic Services Announce Holiday Schedules

Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) extends our best wishes for the holiday season. In observance of the holidays, our office hours will be slightly different Christmas week and New Year’s week, and some city trash and recycling pickups will be delayed by one day.

EWSU Holiday Office Hours

EWSU business and administrative offices will be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, December 24 and 25; and New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, December 31 and January 1, 2026. Our offices will be open on Friday, December 26, and Friday, January 2, 2026.

For water or sewer emergencies during holidays, at night or on weekends, please call our After Hours Emergency Number, 812-421-2130. Our team remains ready to assist with problems involving EWSU water or sewer lines.

Republic Services Holiday Trash & Recycling Schedule

Republic Services will not operate on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day. Trash and recycling pickups scheduled on Thursday and Friday will be delayed one day both weeks. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday trash and recycling pickups will operate as usual.

Christmas Tree Disposal

Disposing of your Christmas tree could not be simpler. From December 29 to January 9, 2026, EWSU residential customers can place their Christmas trees next to their trash cart on regular pickup days and Republic Services will take care of everything. After January 9, Republic Services will still dispose of your Christmas tree, but it must be placed inside your trash cart for pickup and not on the ground.
