Frisco announces closures and hours for Martin Luther King Jr. holiday

Frisco will close a range of municipal offices and facilities for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the city announced in a Jan. 8 notice, with the holiday observed Monday, Jan. 19, 2026. The closures affect administrative services, the Frisco Municipal Court, Frisco Heritage Museum and several other city locations, while essential curbside trash and recycling routes will continue on their normal schedules.

City leaders said the Environmental Collection Center and Environmental Services offices will be closed on the holiday. In addition, the household hazardous waste and electronics collection event scheduled near the holiday will be closed Tuesday, Jan. 20, so residents who planned to drop off items that week will need to reschedule. Some community facilities will remain open on their regular timetables; the Frisco Athletic Center was listed as operating normally. Libraries and museum locations, however, will be closed for the observance.

For Collin County residents who work, study, or rely on city services in Frisco, the practical implications are straightforward: administrative business and in-person court matters should be planned around the closure, and anyone needing to dispose of hazardous waste or electronics should confirm alternative dates. Because curbside trash and recycling are not impacted, homeowners and property managers can expect normal pickup service and do not need to adjust setouts.

The city directed residents to check facility-specific pages for detailed hours and to follow its social media channels for any last-minute changes. That guidance is relevant for people with scheduled court dates, permit deadlines or library holds, and for families planning museum visits around the holiday. Municipal closures for federal holidays are a routine part of civic life, but they still create pinch points for services that require in-person contact.

Frisco’s announcement gives residents time to rearrange plans for appointments, collections, and museum visits ahead of the holiday. If you have court business, pending permits, or need to drop off hazardous materials, verify the location’s schedule before you go to avoid a wasted trip.

The takeaway? Treat Jan. 19 as a day when most city offices are closed, plan nonurgent municipal business for another day, and double-check schedules for the Environmental Collection Center if you were counting on the week of Jan. 19.
