Trash & Solid Waste

The South Central Solid Waste Authority has indicated no service disruptions on Friday, April 3.
Holiday observance is limited to Easter Sunday (April 5).

Banks, Mail and Markets

• U.S. Postal Service: Open, with regular mail delivery
• Stock Market: Closed in observance of Good Friday

What This Means for Residents

While April 3 is not a federal holiday, local observances will result in a partial closure across schools and county offices, with most city services, mail delivery, and banking operations continuing as normal. Financial markets, however, will not be in operation.

Residents are encouraged to plan accordingly, particularly for school schedules and any business with county offices.
