Preparations for the annual July 4th festivities are well underway, but amidst the celebrations, city services are hitting the pause button for Independence Day. Dunedin officials have announced that all city offices will close on Friday, allowing government employees to join in the national holiday observances.
But before you get caught up with the fireworks and barbecues, take note of the adjustments to your routine services; residential trash and recycling won't be making their usual Friday rounds, residents normally serviced on Friday will need to roll out their bins on Saturday, this week only, though it's business as usual for those on the Monday to Thursday schedule Commercial and multi-family dumpster services.
While closed doors at city offices might slow down your bureaucratic errands, the holiday reset doesn't extend to every corner of the city's operations. While your trash bins may hold an extra day's worth of waste, rest assured that the vital services, such as public safety and emergency response, won't be skipping a beat because of the federal holiday.
