The City of Phoenix has released its schedule of service changes for the Juneteenth holiday on Friday, June 19, with several municipal facilities closing while essential services continue operating.
Residents will not see any disruptions to trash and recycling collection. City officials said curbside pickup will continue on its normal schedule throughout the holiday week.
However, both city transfer stations — the 27th Avenue and North Gateway facilities — will be closed for the day. The Public Works Customer Contact Center will also be closed June 19 and will reopen Monday, June 22.
Most branches of the Phoenix Public Library will be closed in observance of the holiday. An exception will be Cholla Library, which will remain open from noon to 9 p.m. as part of the city’s heat relief efforts. Digital library resources and book drops will remain available.
Parking meter enforcement will continue as normal, with meters operating daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., including holidays.
City community centers will be closed for the holiday, while parks and hiking trails will remain open during regular hours. The S’edav Va’aki Museum will also be closed June 19.
Public transportation services will continue operating on a regular weekday schedule. Both bus and light rail routes will remain in service, and customer support will be available throughout the day. Several transit centers, including Ed Pastor, Sunnyslope and Central Station, will be closed.
At Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, officials are encouraging travelers to arrive early, verify flight information before leaving home and reserve parking in advance if needed. Airport officials also reminded passengers that REAL ID requirements remain in effect and recommended allowing at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international departures.
City leaders said the holiday schedule is intended to ensure essential services remain available while allowing employees to observe Juneteenth, the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
