BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — City Hall is locking its doors for Labor Day. Boca Raton will close all city offices and services on Monday, September 7, 2026, in observance of the holiday, with normal operations resuming Tuesday, September 8.
Trash collection is getting bumped by a day. There will be no sanitation service on Monday, and pickups will shift back accordingly: Monday’s regular route runs Tuesday instead, and Tuesday’s route slides to Wednesday, September 9. Residents unsure of their collection zone can check the city’s sanitation map online. The city is also pushing reminder texts — sign up on the city website, or text “SanitationAlert” (no space) to 38276 — and pointing residents to the Recycle Coach app for sorting questions. Remember, this is City of Boca Raton. (Unsure where you live? Check here).
