McKinney Announces City Facility Closures for Holidays, Service Changes

McKinney officials released a holiday operations schedule on Dec. 22, 2025 outlining closures and reduced hours across municipal services for the Christmas and New Year period. The most immediate impacts affect City Hall, libraries, courts, performing arts and recreation facilities, and residential waste collection. City Hall will be closed on Dec. 24 and Dec. 25 and on Jan. 1.

The John and Judy Gay Library will operate on reduced hours on Dec. 22 and Dec. 23, and will be closed on Dec. 24 and Dec. 25 and on Jan. 1. McKinney Municipal Court, the McKinney Performing Arts Center, and other recreation centers are also scheduled to observe closures or reduced hours during the same holiday dates. Residents with scheduled visits, library needs, court appearances or event plans should verify operating hours before traveling.

Residential trash and recycling collection will pause on Dec. 25 and on Jan. 1. The city announced that service will slide one day for those weeks, meaning regular pickup days will shift forward by one day after each pause. Households should adjust placement of bins and anticipate one day delays in collection on routes normally affected by the holiday pauses.

These adjustments carry practical implications for residents and local businesses. Court participants should confirm their hearing dates and any filing deadlines to avoid missing appearances. Library patrons who planned study time or material returns should check reduced hours to avoid late returns. Arts patrons and recreation users should consult event information, as programming or facility access may be limited during the closure windows.

Municipal staff encouraged residents to plan ahead to minimize disruption and to follow posted notices for any additional guidance as the holidays approach.
