The City of Raleigh is gearing up for the Christmas holiday with a few changes to their usual operations. According to an announcement on the city’s official website, all administrative offices will be taking a break from Wednesday through Friday. While non-emergency services take a pause, residents can rest assured that emergency crews remain on call; 9-1-1 is the number to dial for any urgent police, fire, and rescue services during the holiday period.
There will also be adjustments to waste services. The post-Christmas trash and recycling schedule is set to shift back a day, starting Thursday. If you had plans to drop off yard waste, note that the City of Raleigh Yard Waste Center will be closed on Christmas Day, so plan around this brief shutdown.
Those relying on transit during the holidays need to be aware of the schedule. On the city’s official website, GoRaleigh announces that it will operate on its regular schedule on Christmas Eve, wrapping up with the last buses during the 7 p.m. hour. However, services will take a full stop on Christmas Day, Thursday. For those planning to travel around these dates, GoRaleigh has advised to check their website or contact customer service for detailed bus schedules…
