Joplin city offices to close Labor Day, changes for council meeting, trash routes

(From the City of Joplin)

In recognition of the Labor Day holiday, the City of Joplin offices will be closed on Monday, September 5. This closing includes the Joplin Recycling Center, MAPS and the Sunshine Lamp Trolley services. The City of Joplin Recycling Center will also close for Saturday, September 3 of the Labor Day weekend. All City services will resume their regularly scheduled hours on Tuesday, September 6.

Public Safety services and Airport operations will continue to operate throughout the Labor Day holiday weekend, as these departments run 24/7 throughout the year.

The Joplin City Council meeting, regularly scheduled on the first Monday, will shift to Tuesday, September 6. It will be held at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 602 South Main St.

Due to the holiday, residential trash and curbside recycling services will not be picked up on Labor Day, Monday, September 5. Customers who usually have trash and recycling picked up on Mondays will have their trash and recycling picked up on Tuesday, September 6. For the remainder of the week, the residential trash and curbside recycling collection will move forward one day with Friday’s customers having a Saturday pick-up.

The Republic Services Transfer Station in Galena, Kansas will also be closed September 3 through September 5. This “long” weekend is due to Kansas and Missouri solid waste, landfill, and transfer station regulations.
