Solid Waste Management in San Antonio has announced a brief timeout for one of its recycling facilities this Mother’s Day. The Bitters Brush Recycling Center on Wurzbach Parkway will shut its gates on Sunday, May 12, taking a one-day breather in observance of the holiday, officials said yesterday.

For those looking to dispose of brush or bulky items, the interruption means a slight change in plans. The department has confirmed that after this brief pause, activities will pick back up on Monday, May 13, as per norm. Citizens seeking more details on hours or services are directed to the city's website, where they can find the necessary information, the facility, normally churns through the city's waste without much downtime.

Residents need not worry about disruptions to their regular trash collection services, though. In a reassuring note, city officials have clarified that Mother’s Day will not see any other Solid Waste Management services affected. So, the pause at Bitters Brush stands as a solitary exception to what's otherwise business as usual.
