The Town of Queen Creek is setting the stage for the Thanksgiving holiday by announcing closures of its offices, including the Recreation Annex, in observance of the festive occasion. As reported by a recent article from the town's official website, these closures are scheduled for Thursday, November 28, honoring the tradition of Thanksgiving Day. The Recreation Annex will extend the closure to Friday, November 29, though this will not affect public safety or emergency services. In case of a water, sewer, or street emergency during this time, residents are directed to call 480-358-3131 for assistance.
Residents living in Zone 4 should prepare for a slight shift in trash and recycling services due to the holiday schedule. The services will be postponed until the morning of Friday, November 29, with the requirement that carts be placed outside by 6 a.m. for collection. The town's website also reminds that for those who have availed of bulk trash services, items must be curbside by 6 a.m. on the day of service, and pick up times may vary across the serviced hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. If bulk items remain uncollected by the day's end, residents are advised to leave them curbside and wait up to 48 hours before lodging an online missed pick-up request.
Aside from addressing holiday scheduling, the town promotes its eco-friendly free cooking oil recycling program. According to the 'Town of Queen Creek News,' used oil can be repurposed into biodiesel, a cleaner alternative fuel, with collection containers provided year-round at the Queen Creek Recycle Center and Fire Station 2. More information about this sustainable initiative is available on the Queen Creek official website.
For those gearing up to cook Thanksgiving feasts, the Queen Creek Fire & Medical Department offers safety tips accessible through the town's website. These pointers aim at ensuring residents can celebrate without compromising safety. In general, town affairs and online services can still be accessed through the Queen Creek website, which remains operational even when offices are closed. The locals can also stay in the loop on the latest updates by following the town's social media pages on Facebook and X.
Any inquiries or reports of non-emergency issues during the holiday period can be made through the website's SeeClickFix service. Constance Halonen-Wilson, the Communications & Marketing Manager for the town, is the point of contact for media-related questions and can be reached at 480-358-3195 or via email at [email protected].
