City Hall to Close June 19 for Juneteenth; Trash Pickup Unaffected
City Hall will be closed next Friday in observance of Juneteenth, the city reminded residents this morning, with a key reassurance: curbside trash and recycling pickup will run on its normal schedule that day.
TOWN HALL
The city posted the official notice Friday that City Hall will be shuttered June 19 for Juneteenth. Residents who rely on curbside collection that week can plan as usual — the Department of Public Works will not delay pickups.
