The City of Round Rock is taking a break for the New Year's Day holiday, shutting doors to the public on some city offices. As per the latest announcement, residents should be aware that the Round Rock Public Library, Municipal Court, Baca Center, Clay Madsen Recreation Center, and Utility Billing Office will remain closed on Thursday, Jan. 1.
For those looking to start the year free of bills, fear not. While payments can't be made in person during the closure, they can be handled online. So, if you're a Round Rock local with a utility bill burning a hole in your pocket or with a court-related fine looming over your head, simply visit the city's website to get those dues paid.
Don't forget your trash bins because there's a shuffle in the schedule for trash pickup as well. Republic Service’s usual routine will experience a minor delay if your pickup falls on New Year’s Day. As reported on the City of Round Rock's official website, Thursday, Jan. 1, collections are moved to Friday, Jan. 2, and residents who would have their trash picked up on Friday will now see the trucks roll in on Saturday, Jan. 3.
Despite the small holiday-induced hiccups in the schedule, Round Rock ensures that services will return to normal promptly after the New Year's celebrations. With these disruptions laid out clearly, citizens can ease into their holiday without worry, save for remembering the revised dates. Mark your calendars or set a reminder so your end-of-year festivities aren’t interrupted by an overflowing trash bin or a missed payment in the first days of 2025.
