Memorial Day In White Plains

Press release from the City of White Plains:

May 28, 2021

In observance of Memorial Day, all City offices will be closed on Monday, May 31st and there will be no garbage pick-up. There will be no paper recycling this week. Paper recycling will resume on Wednesday, June 9th.

If you live on a Monday / Thursday collection route, your trash will be collected on Tuesday and Thursday this week. If you live on a Tuesday / Friday collection route, your trash will be collected on Wednesday and Friday. Mixed recycling will be picked up as usual. Once again, there will be no paper pick up this week. The Gedney Recycling Yard will be closed on Monday for Memorial Day.

Please join us for the City’s Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday. The event begins at 11:00 a.m. and will be held at Delfino Park on Lake Street. At this location everyone can socially distance and be outdoors while honoring our veterans. Ebersole Ice Rink, which is a covered outdoor area at Delfino Park, will be utilized in case of inclement weather.

Our deceased honorees this year are Malcolm Baehr and Jack Collins. Both served on the Mayor’s Veterans Committee for many years. They were incredibly proud of their time served in the armed forces and dedicated themselves to honoring all veterans respectfully in our community.

Mayor Roach said, “Memorial Day remains as relevant today as when it was first enacted in memory of the soldiers who fought in the Civil War. Great sacrifices are made every day by the men and women of the U.S. Armed Services. Their sacrifices remind us anew to be grateful for all that we have as a community and a country.”

During the past year of tremendous upheaval and loss, we also remember the 12,000 recorded deaths of veterans from COVID-19.
