City to Close Offices on Veterans Day

Nov 03, 2011 at 02:12 pm by Unknown


All city facilities, including Barfield-Crescent Park, the Wilderness Station, Cannonsburgh Village, Project Go!, McFadden and Patterson Park community centers and Sports*Com will be closed Nov. 11 to honor Veteran's Day. Old Fort and the Veterans Administration golf courses will be open.

There will be no garbage pickup that day. Thursday's trash will be picked up Wednesday and Friday's will be picked up Thursday.

"This is a particularly complicated holiday for people to understand," Murfreesboro Solid Waste Department Director Joey Smith said, "because if they miss their pickup day, they have to wait an entire week before it's picked up again rather than only a day like other holidays.

"We're urging people to pay close attention to the fact Thursday's and Friday's pickup days are on the day before rather than after," he continued.
