As Norman settles into the last days of summer, residents gearing up for Labor Day weekend should be aware of some changes in city services. City administration offices will take a break from the regular grind on September 1, in observance of the holiday. The closures, which include the trimming back of municipal operations, were detailed in a recent release on the City of Norman's website.
Notably, the Solid Waste Collection Division isn't taking the day off. Eco-conscious residents can breathe easy knowing that recycling, yard waste, and other sanitation services will run without interruption on the first. Both the Compost Facility and the Transfer Station will adhere to their standard Monday hours. Those with lingering questions about waste management can reach out to the Sanitation Division at (405) 329-1023, as detailed by the City of Norman.
Some transit services will be closed for the holiday. EMBARK Norman, the main bus service in the city, will not run on Monday. The Norman On-Demand service will also be unavailable. Riders can check the transit website for updates and schedule info.
In the realm of public safety, the Police Records Division along with Norman Animal Welfare will be closed, leaving some administrative tasks for another day. Meanwhile, recreation seekers will find most community centers shuttered on Monday. The Young Family Athletic Center, however, opens up an opportunity for indoor activity from noon to 6 p.m. Westwood Park will also welcome visitors during it's regular business hours for those looking to enjoy the outdoors. For those seeking further information on operations and the City of Norman amenities over the holiday, the city's Parks & Recreation details can be found at NormanParks.com.
