City of Georgetown Announces Holiday Closures for Good Friday and Easter Weekend

Hey Georgetown residents! As spring rolls in and the Easter holiday approaches, the City of Georgetown wants to keep you in the loop regarding some important closures that might affect your plans. So let’s dive right into the details!

Good Friday is Here!

Mark your calendars! The City of Georgetown will be closing all offices and facilities on Friday, April 18, for Good Friday. It’s a day dedicated to reflection and recognition by many in our community, and the city wants to give its employees the day off to observe the holiday properly.

Easter Sunday Closures

But that’s not all! If you’re thinking about stopping by a city facility on Easter Sunday, you might want to think again. Most facilities that usually operate on Sundays will also be closed on April 20. Make sure you’re aware of this if you had any plans to visit a park or other recreational space!

Service Reminders

Now, don’t fret about garbage day! The good news is that regular solid waste and recycling collection will still take place on both Good Friday and Easter Sunday. So if you usually put your trash out on these days, you can keep calm and carry on as usual. Just a friendly reminder – make sure to have your trash and recycling carts at the curb by 7 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day to avoid any mishaps.

Changes to Transport Services

Another important note for residents who rely on public transport: the GoGeo paratransit bus service will not be operating on Good Friday, April 18. However, don’t lose hope! The city has announced updates confirming that paratransit service will be back up and running after the holiday. So if you need to get around, plan accordingly!
