Citing hazardous road conditions and overnight lows that will create black ice, both the city of Hendersonville and Henderson County announced that government offices will be closed on Tuesday.

There will be no garbage, recycling or brush collection in the city. The city is anticipating a delayed start for the collection schedule on Wednesday morning due to freezing conditions. Additional announcements regarding collection schedules will be posted on the city’s website. For water/sewer issues, call (828) 891-7779.
