Many municipalities are adjusting garbage collection schedules for the holiday.

For the most part, Thursday collections are either being moved up or delayed.  Check with your local municipality or waste collector.

Most government offices, including the Department of Motor Vehicles, will be closed on New Year’s Day and many offices and businesses are either closed New Year’s Eve or closing early.

Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies have stepped up patrols looking for drunk and dangerous driver throughout the holiday and the weekend.
