Monday, May 26 is of course Memorial Day and if you use the City of Greensboro’s services, transportation or facilities, here are a few things you need to know about the holiday this year.
First of all, feel free to head down to city hall, but you won’t be able to get in because city offices will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day.
Also, there will be no trash or recycling collection that day. Instead, if your collection date was supposed to be Monday, it will instead take place on Tuesday, May 27. Tuesday’s collections will be moved back a day to Wednesday, May 28. All other collection days that week will remain the same.
The White Street Landfill and Transfer Station will be closed on May 26.
Also on Memorial Day, GTA will operate on a Saturday schedule hourly – from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Route 11 won’t serve the GTCC Jamestown campus that day. Access GSO will offer services on a Saturday schedule from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The Greensboro Public Libraries, History Museum, and Cultural Center will all be closed on Memorial Day.
