Veterans Day City Announces Trash and Recycle Schedule
The City of Cheyenne Sanitation Division has thoughtfully outlined its schedule adjustments in anticipation of the upcoming 2023 Veterans Day holiday, ensuring residents are well-informed about any modifications to the usual sanitation services.
As the community gears up to honor the veterans on this special day, the City has planned a few changes to its regular sanitation routines. It’s important for residents to take note of these alterations to ensure a smooth and organized waste management process.
On the eve of Veterans Day, specifically on Friday, Nov. 10, there will be no deviation from the usual schedule for trash, recycle, or yard waste pick-up. Residents are kindly requested to have their trash, recycle, and yard waste containers ready for collection by 6 a.m. on this day. The normal Friday pickups will proceed seamlessly, offering residents the convenience they are accustomed to.
However, as a mark of respect and acknowledgment for Veterans Day, the Sanitation Division has declared a pause in sanitation services on Saturday, Nov. 11. This temporary halt in operations is to allow the dedicated drivers of the Sanitation Division the opportunity to observe and partake in the Veterans Day celebrations. It’s a thoughtful gesture that underscores the importance of recognizing and honoring those who have served in the armed forces.
In tandem with the service adjustments, the Sanitation Division Office will be closed on Friday, Nov. 10. This closure is in line with the observance of Veterans Day and will provide employees with the chance to participate in various events and activities dedicated to honoring veterans. The office is set to reopen its doors on Monday, Nov. 13, resuming regular operations and addressing any inquiries or concerns from the community.
While the Sanitation Division Office takes a brief hiatus, the Happy Jack Landfill will maintain its regular business hours throughout the week, staying open from Monday through Friday. This consistency ensures that residents can continue their waste disposal activities without interruption. The landfill, located at 1416 Happy Jack Road, stands as a reliable facility for the community, even during holiday observances.
On the topic of waste disposal facilities, the Solid Waste Transfer Station will also remain operational on Friday, Nov. 10. However, residents should be aware that this facility will be closed on Saturday, Nov. 11, aligning with the temporary suspension of sanitation services. This closure on Veterans Day is a testament to the City’s commitment to allowing its employees a well-deserved break to commemorate this significant day.
As the community navigates these schedule adjustments, it’s vital to be aware of the operational status of specific facilities. The Compost Facility, situated at 3714 Windmill Road, and the Household Hazardous Waste facility at 220 N. College Drive, will both be open on Friday, Nov. 10. However, in solidarity with the closure of services on Veterans Day, these facilities will be closed on Saturday, Nov. 11. Residents relying on these services are encouraged to plan accordingly, utilizing the available time slots to manage their waste disposal needs. Both facilities are slated to reopen on Tuesday, Nov. 14, ensuring that residents can promptly resume their usage of these essential waste management resources.
