Regional Juneteenth closures change Friday service plans

Residents across the Star News corridor should check local office and service schedules before making a Friday trip for permits, courts, trash service, libraries or city business.

Martinsville says its municipal building, administrative offices and constitutional offices will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026. Police, fire, EMS and water/sewer plant operations continue on normal schedules. Regular trash pickup continues, but there will be no bulk or brush pickup. Normal operations resume Monday, June 22.

Henry County lists the Administration Building as closed all day for Juneteenth. Danville says city government offices, the public library and the James F. Ingram Justice Center will be closed, while Danville Transit operates as usual and household trash and yard waste collection continue.

Greensboro says most city offices are closed June 19, with no trash or recycling collection that day. Friday collections move to Thursday, June 18, and Thursday collections move to Wednesday, June 17. The White Street Landfill and Transfer Station close June 19, while GTA runs regular service. Roanoke says city offices, including the Commissioner of the Revenue, are closed Friday, and its solid-waste schedule lists no change for Juneteenth collections.

• What to know: The biggest collection changes in this source check are in Greensboro, while Martinsville and Roanoke list regular trash schedules.
• Who is affected: Residents planning city or county office visits, library trips, court-related errands, sanitation drop-offs or holiday-week trash setout.
• Why it matters: Friday, June 19 is close enough that missed service details can create delayed errands, missed carts or wasted trips to public buildings.

Residents should use their own city or county's official holiday notice before setting out carts or traveling to an office, because service details vary by locality.
