IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. Happy Thanksgiving! Today, we’re thankful for you and this Boerne Life we get to live. We are truly blessed.

Oh and the answer to the trivia yesterday: you can see a blacksmith on Fridays at the AgriCultural. In fact, they have a beginners class there this Saturday!

Here’s what we have for you today:

  • Garbage collection changes for Thanksgiving

  • H-E-B open this morning for last minute shopping

  • Christmas music starts tonight on Boerne Radio

  • New photo opp

And a whole lot more. Let’s get into it!

Big changes are happening over at Massage Heights Boerne — they’re rebranding as Heights Wellness Retreat, bringing a more holistic, elevated approach to health and relaxation. Construction is already underway, with everything expected to be complete by the end of December.

They’ll soon offer new treatments on top of their massage services like halo salt and infrared saunas, cryotherapy, red light therapy, and lymphatic drainage suits. And they’re kicking things off with a special offer just for our readers!

HOLIDAY TRASH & RECYCLING SCHEDULE CHANGES

There will be no garbage collection today on Thanksgiving Day. Homes normally serviced on Thursday will be picked up on Friday, and Friday’s route will move to Saturday for this week only.

Looking ahead, there will also be no collection on Christmas Day (Thursday, Dec. 25) and New Year’s Day (Thursday, Jan. 1). For both holiday weeks, Thursday pickup will shift to Friday, and Friday pickup will occur on Saturday.

Residents should have bins at the curb by 7 a.m. on their adjusted collection day. For questions, Utilities Customer Service can be reached at 830-249-9511 (option 1).

BLACK FRIDAY FILL-A-BAG SALE AT WILD BIRDS UNLIMITED

Wild Birds Unlimited is running its annual Black Friday Fill-A-Bag Sale from Nov. 28 through Dec. 2. Customers get 20% off everything they can fit into one of the store’s reusable tote bags — and they get to keep the bag, too.

It’s a great chance to stock up on seed, feeders, gifts, and nature gear before the holiday season picks up. The shop is located at 110 Market Ave, just off Main Street.

H-E-B OPEN THIS MORNING FOR LAST MINUTE THANKSGIVING GROCERIES

If you still need a few ingredients for today’s meal, H-E-B will be open on Thanksgiving morning. Stores will operate from 6 am to 12 pm, with curbside available from 7 to 11 am and home delivery from 7 to 10 am. The pharmacy will be closed for the holiday.

Simply Cleaning Professionals has officially joined The Boerne Life family, and they focus on one thing every business needs but few want to deal with: keeping the workspace truly clean. Relying on employees to handle bathrooms, floors, and daily upkeep drags down morale and pulls them away from the work that actually earns revenue.

With more than 30 years of experience, owner Jeffrey Rakowitz personally evaluates each space and offers straightforward recommendations based on what a business actually needs. The team specializes in environments where dependable cleaning matters most, including law offices, pilates studios, medical and wellness clinics, and real estate offices.

If your current cleaning setup isn’t cutting it — or if you’ve never had a real plan in place — this might be the easiest improvement you make all year.

Let your employees focus on their jobs. Let Simply Cleaning handle the rest.
