Greensboro Announces City Offices Closed for Thanksgiving Week

The City of Greensboro notified residents on Nov. 20, 2025, that municipal offices and a broad range of public facilities will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. The closures will take effect on Nov. 27 through Nov. 28, 2025, and the notice outlines which services are affected and how routine operations will change during that period.

The release from the city identified changes to trash and collection schedules, adjustments to transit service, and modified facility operating hours. While many administrative offices and service centers will be closed, the city directed residents to the municipal website for information on emergency contacts and the essential services that will remain available over the holiday. The notice is intended to give residents time to confirm pickup days, plan travel on public transit, and access critical services if needed.

For households relying on city trash collection, the announcement signals the possibility of altered pickup days or delayed routes during the holiday week. Riders who depend on Greensboro transit should expect service adjustments and should check schedules ahead of travel to avoid missed connections or longer wait times. The closure of municipal facilities will also affect in person transactions such as permitting, bill payments, and non emergency administrative visits, so residents with urgent business are being encouraged to handle those matters before the holiday or use online services when possible.

Public safety functions and emergency response services operate under different protocols, and the city notice directs residents to the city website for emergency contact information and for details on which essential services are maintained. Access to police, fire, and emergency medical services is expected to continue, though staffing and response patterns may be managed to accommodate the holiday period.

The timing of the notice allows residents and local businesses in Guilford County to adjust schedules for appointments, deliveries, and staffing. Municipal employees and contractors will also follow the announced closures, which may influence county level coordination with city departments over the holiday. Civic organizations planning events or volunteer activities should review the posted schedules to ensure facility access or secure alternative arrangements.

Residents seeking the most current information are advised to consult the city website for the complete list of affected services, updated trash and transit schedules, and emergency contact details. Confirming those details in advance will help households and businesses minimize disruption during the Thanksgiving period.
