The residents in the area of Queen Creek will be looking at a quiet Veterans Day as the Town offices have announced closure for November 11. The Town will be observing the federal holiday that honors military veterans, as reported by an official statement. Essential services such as public safety and emergency responses will still be operational. Should there be any urgent matters related to water, sewer, or streets, citizens are expected to call 480-358-3131.
Despite the day off for Town offices, the usual Tuesday pick-up schedule for trash and recycling remains unchanged. Encouraging residents in Zone 2 to ensure their trash carts are out by 6 a.m., the Town’s official website advises that bulk trash service, important as it is, can still be arranged online. In case the allocated bulk items are not collected by the day’s end, which runs until 6 p.m., residents are instructed to leave the refuse curbside and wait up to 48 hours before filing a missed pick-up request online.
Furthermore, for those looking to enjoy some recreation during the holiday, Queen Creek's Recreation Center will be adjusting its hours, opening from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Similarly, the Aquatic Center also joins in, albeit with a shorter window of availability from 10 a.m. to noon, as outlined on the Town's official page. However, one should note that the Recreation Annex will not be open.
Regular days of operation will resume immediately following the holiday, running from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with a closure extending from Friday to Sunday. For those planning on spending part of their Veterans Day engaging in the Town’s recreational offerings, exploring the various options is recommended through a visit to their website at QueenCreekAZ.gov/Recreation.
To keep abreast of the latest updates, residents and interested parties are urged to follow the Town on social media platforms such as Facebook at Facebook.com/QueenCreek. And for reporting non-emergency issues conveniently, Queen Creek’s SeeClickFix program remains an accessible option even when the Town offices are catching a breather for the holiday.
