Heads up, Denverites! If you're planning to take care of any city business, you might want to reschedule or prep for online options, as most City and County of Denver offices will be taking a break this Monday, Sept. 2, in observance of the Labor Day holiday. This includes a laundry list of offices, from the Mayor’s Office to the Auditor’s Office, and more, according to the City and County of Denver. And remember, while these spaces will be void of the weekday hum and shuffle, essential services and emergency responders remain on their steady beat.
Batten down the hatches, folks, if you were planning a library visit or a day in court, All Denver Public Library locations and Denver County Court will be closed, too. However, not all hopes for a productive day are dashed, golf enthusiasts rejoice, as all city-owned golf facilities will swing their gates wide open, weather permitting. As for the folks with questions left hanging like a fadeaway in the Denver sky, the 3-1-1 information line will not be available, but the city's website and chatbot Sunny stay online to serve.
Take note, because your typical rituals of domestic life may hit a brief pause. As per the city announcement, trash, recycling, and compost collection services will find themselves delayed by one day. On-street parking, however, gets a bit of a vacation as parking meters are free on Labor Day. And for those unexpectedly caught up in vehicular mishaps, the Vehicle Impound Facility will also be taking the day off.
Let's not overlook our four-legged friends either. If a lost pet wanders into your Labor Day BBQ, Denver Animal Shelter’s Night Drop kennels are accessible, even while the shelter’s doors are shuttered for the holiday. Should the worst happen, and an emergency arises, stay calm and remember that Animal Protection Officers will be on standby, reachable through 9-1-1, "the city’s release" detailed.
