Health Department clinics, libraries, senior centers and the county animal shelter will be closed, and CountyRide vans will not run. United States Postal Service offices will also be closed on July 5 in recognition of the holiday. No mail will be delivered on that day. The postal service will operate during adjusted retail hours on Saturday, July 3. Hours will be posted at each location. However, mail will be delivered as scheduled on July 3. There will be no trash, recycling or yard materials collection on the holiday, and trash and recycling drop-off facilities, including the Eastern Sanitary Landfill, will be closed.
