As the holiday season approaches, Chandler residents are being reminded of the adjusted service schedules for city facilities and services. In a recent announcement, the City of Chandler has confirmed that city offices will be closed on Christmas and New Year’s Day. Despite the closures, the city has made provisions for limited services between the holiday dates, ensuring residents have access to essential services during the festive period. A detailed schedule has been made available on the city's official website for those who need to plan ahead.
Residents should take note that there will be no laps in waste collection services next Monday and Tuesday. However, as part of the holiday changes, trash and recycling pickup will be delayed by one day for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday collections during the weeks of Christmas and New Year's Day, "If your collection day is Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, place your container out one day later through Saturday for these two weeks," as outlined by the city's news release. Keep in mind that the Recycling-Solid Waste Collection Center (RSWCC) will also follow these closure dates.
For those looking to keep fit or entertain the kids during the holidays, the Tumbleweed Recreation Center and Snedigar Recreation Center will be open at various times throughout the period, albeit with some tweaks to their normal hours. Chandler's public libraries and aquatic centers have posted their respective holiday hours as well, with specific dates when services are unavailable. Residents planning to use any of these facilities are encouraged to check the city’s website for the exact dates and hours of operation.
When it comes to permits and paperwork, the Utility Services and Licensing office will be closed on Christmas and New Year’s Day but will provide phone assistance and in-person appointments during the rest of the holiday period. Similarly, the City Clerk’s office will not schedule passport appointments on the same date, as stated within the announcement. On the cultural front, the Chandler Museum and galleries are set to observe holiday hours with some days of closure in between.
The city's announcement is comprehensive, covering a range of services including recreational, waste management, administrative, and cultural. Chandler's officials have organized these changes to ensure minimized disruptions during a time when routines deviate from the norm. For any queries, residents can reach out directly to the appropriate city departments via phone or visit the City of Chandler’s holiday service schedule page.
