City of Akron Press Release
From the desk of Ellen Lander Nischt
Published: 11-24-2020
Akron, Ohio, November 24, 2020 — All municipal offices will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 26th and Friday, Nov. 27th in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
There will be no curb service on Thursday, Nov. 26th. There will be a one-day delay of trash and recycling collection for the remainder of the week, with curb service resuming on Friday, Nov. 27 and continuing through Saturday, Nov. 28th. To get reminders and alerts about your household's curb service schedule, please download the Akron Recycles app free on Android or Apple devices.
Residents are urged to heed the City of Akron emergency Private Gathering Ordinance, in place until Dec. 16th. This limit on large private gatherings was recommended by Summit County Public Health and the City's three hospital systems (Summa Health, Akron General Cleveland Clinic, and Akron Children's Hospital) due to the ongoing, uncontrolled spread of COVID-19 in Akron and Summit County, primarily through casual indoor social or family gatherings where masks are not worn. Under the ordinance, no household in the City shall host more than 6 additional visitors (non-residents) at a private gathering. For small gatherings with 6 or fewer outside visitors – masks should be worn.
"This year, I am especially thankful for Akronites' perseverance, commitment to what is right, and empathy and compassion for their fellow citizens," Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan said. "While the holidays look different this year and many traditions may be postponed; gratitude, kindness and community connection are not cancelled. So, as we adjust our plans and make sacrifices in the way we celebrate, I hope that we are able to appreciate and safeguard those things we are most thankful for – family, friends, health, and community. Meanwhile, as Mayor, I will continue to focus on upholding quality of life, economic opportunity, and a sense of safety across our city through this challenging pandemic."

"This year it's especially important to shop local as a way of bolstering these businesses in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic strain it has caused on our small business community," Deputy Mayor for Integrated Development James Hardy said. "By buying gifts or services from a local seller, you just might help keep an Akron small business from closing its doors this year. Every purchase helps – and Akron businesses have so much to offer. And keep in mind, many local businesses also offer online shopping for all your holiday needs."
Sunday, Nov. 29th is Artists Sunday, a day to buy from local artists and artisans. Crafty Mart, Cleveland Bazaar, and I Made It! Market are hosting a virtual Holiday Show on Saturday, Nov. 28 and Sunday, Nov. 29. Shop Holiday Handmade is a LIVE 2-day online event featuring over 150 makers, artists and small businesses.
