The City of Concord has announced its holiday closures and modified schedules for various services during the upcoming Christmas and New Year's holidays. Government offices will be closed from Monday, December 25 through Wednesday, December 27 in observance of Christmas, as well as on Monday, January 1, 2024 for New Year's Day.

According to the city's announcement, garbage, recycling, and bulky waste collection will operate on a one-day delay during the week of Christmas. However, there will be no yard waste collection during that week. Loose leaf collection crews will be working diligently to catch up on remaining areas under the second cycle.

For the week of January 1-5, 2024, all collection services will also operate on a one-day delay. The city has allowed residents to place up to five extra bags outside of their trash carts from December 26 through January 5. It is important to note that these extra bags should be placed at least two feet away from any cart or object to ensure safe collection.

Furthermore, the city has provided guidelines for the disposal of live Christmas trees. Customers can place their trees curbside, with the stand, lights, and ornaments removed, along with their regular yard waste.

In addition to the waste collection schedule modifications, Rider Transit will be closed, and no buses will operate on Christmas, December 25, and New Year's Day, January 1, 2024.
