Citizens of Concord, before you dive into your Thanksgiving feast, note the schedule changes for city services. The City of Concord government offices will shut down tomorrow and Friday for the holiday. Adapt your plans accordingly, as several services will not operate per usual on these days.
Waste management gets a bit of a shuffle. There will be no garbage, recycling, bulky waste or yard waste collection on Thanksgiving Day, informs the City Of Concord's announcement. If tomorrow is your day for trash collection, it's pushed to Friday, so containers should hit the curb no later than 6 a.m., a delay for which crews will be working Friday to accommodate.
For those keeping their phones handy, Concord offers digital litter assistance. You’re encouraged to download the free CARTology mobile app, linked from the same City Of Concord release, which places your collection schedule conveniently, complete with notifications about changes – ensuring your trash doesn’t stay unattended too long.
The city's recreation centers aren't exempt from holiday hours. Shuttered doors will greet you at the Academy, Hartsell, and Logan Multi-Purpose Recreation Centers tomorrow. But they will bounce back Friday with holiday hours from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The David Phillips Activity, however, takes an extended break, remaining closed both tomorrow and Friday.
Reflective of a quiet spell in the arts community for Thanksgiving, according to City of Concord information, the ClearWater Arts Center & Studios will be taking a holiday too, from tomorrow through Saturday. For the anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, Lake Fisher maintains normality with its usual hours over the weekend, providing a respite from the closure.
