In observance of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, several city facilities, including City Hall, Municipal Court, both Public Library branches, the Civic and Convention Center, Parks & Recreation offices, Fischer Park Nature Education Center, Solid Waste and Recycling offices, and the City Recycling Center, will be closed on December 24 and 25. These closures also apply to New Year's Day, January 1, 2025. If your regular collection day falls on a holiday, pickup will be moved to the next day, with Wednesday's refuse collected on Thursday and Thursday's on Friday.
Plan ahead if you use city trash and recycling services during the holidays. The City of New Braunfels has announced that pickups will be delayed by one day for both Christmas and New Year's Day. This means Wednesday pickups will be on Thursday, and Thursday pickups will be on Friday. Residents are encouraged to set out their bins the night before, as collection starts at 6:30 am.
The Public Library will have modified hours on December 23 and 26, and December 31, open from 9 am to 6 pm. Das Rec will be open from 9 am to 4 pm on December 26, and from 8 am to 5 pm on December 31 and January 1. The Landa Park Golf Course will close early at 3 pm on Christmas Eve and will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, reopening with regular hours the following day.
For keen golfers and library patrons alike, or those seeking solace in city-sanctioned spaces between the festive rush, keep one eye on the clock and another on the city's schedule.
