Most City Services Closed Monday

Mayor Luis A. Quintana reminded residents that all non-uniformed city services, including the Newark Municipal Court, will be closed on Monday, Nov. 11, in observance of the Veterans Day holiday. Police, fire, and other uniformed emergency services will be unaffected.

Trash pick-ups, including recycling, that would normally occur on Monday will take place Thursday. Residents should not put out their garbage on Nov. 11, as doing so may result in a fine. On Thursday, on their normal collection days, residents must place their refuse at their curbs by 6 a.m. Residents whose trash is collected by a private contractor will not be affected by the holiday schedule.

The Department of Child and Family Well-Being’s inspection services, transportation for seniors, WIC program, and health clinic, including the free immunization program, will not operate on Monday. In addition, the Division of Vital Statistics will be closed. Residents will not be able to apply for permits, birth certificates, name-change certificates or marriage licenses, nor pay water or tax bills at City Hall.

The Municipal Court will also be closed on Monday. However, a judge will be available to preside over bail hearings for defendants in custody. Residents can make payments on parking and traffic tickets through the website www.njmcdirect.com. To utilize this website, residents will need their summons number, including the prefix, and the City of Newark’s court code, which is 0714.
