    Juneteenth | Trash Delayed

    City offices and trash services close for Juneteenth. Collections move one day later for the rest of the week. Juneteenth, observed on June 19, commemorates the day in 1865 when Union troops reached Galveston, Texas, and finally enforced freedom for the last enslaved people—two and a half years after emancipation was declared. The day stands as a reminder that freedom in America was delayed and demanded, not given freely. It’s a time to celebrate Black liberation, resilience, and the unfinished work of justice. Watch "This is Why Juneteenth is Important" by The Root for a thoughtful primer that centers the voices and experience of Black Americans.

  • Flat illustration of a construction worker wearing a yellow hard hat and holding a wrench in front of an American flag and factory silhouette, symbolizing Labor Day.

    Labor Day | Trash Delayed

    DPW observes Labor Day. Trash and recycling will be picked up one day late for all residents this week. Labor Day, observed on the first Monday in September, honors the contributions of American workers and the labor movement that fought for fair wages, safe conditions, and reasonable hours. It’s both a tribute to those efforts and a marker of the unofficial end of summer—a day for rest, cookouts, and community. For a deeper look at its history, visit History.com’s Labor Day overview.
