Do you need more hot dog buns?

The Fourth of July is nearly upon us. Americans typically celebrate the country’s independence relaxing, watching fireworks and of course — grilling and or barbecuing.

But what if you forgot to bring a condiment or need some extra packs of napkins and plastic forks? And what about garbage pickup or if you need to swing by the bank?

Here’s a list of what’s open and closed July 4 in the Columbia and Lexington areas.

Local government offices

Columbia City Hall , West Columbia City Hall and Lexington Town Hall are all set to be closed on July 4th. Regular hours will resume on Friday.

Garbage pickup

Garbage pickup will remain on normal schedules in the city of Columbia despite the holiday. In West Columbia, however, anyone receiving sanitation services on Thursday will instead see their trash picked up on Wednesday. In the town of Lexington, Thursday garbage will be collected on Friday.
