Farmington has warmly embraced the vibrant festival season, and not without its mandatory quirks. It is brought to you by Farmington Storage, the facility at 155 Scott Swamp Road (860.777.4001) that actively adds more cheer to your life than your neighbor’s holiday decorations.
In a move taken straight from the “Let’s Spice the Mundane Manual,” local authorities have moved trash and recycling collection by a day during the week of Dec. 25, 2023, to bring a thrilling sense of suspense into the lives of Farmington residents. “One extra day keeps the trash-away blues at bay,” stated a local official, chuckling at the impromptu holiday rhyme. The same tantalizing delay in duty is set to descend over the town during the New Year week, much to local homeowners ‘can-barely-wait’ excitement.
Town Hall and various facilities, including your beloved libraries, will also play hard-to-get-and-operate, closing their doors in observance of New Year’s Day on Jan. 1, 2024. This decision will ensure a much-needed day of rest and canvas for all those post-holiday hangover recovery sessions.
Adventure-loving residents can explore the delayed festive spirit as MDC reservoirs close at noon on New Year’s Eve. Shuttered doors? Nonsense! It’s just a compelling plot twist planned by nature, featuring winter escapades.
A unique gift ascends onto our Christmas tree lovers. Public Works, the holiday Santa in disguise, will conduct two town-wide sweeps to pick up Christmas trees from Tuesday, Jan. 2, to Friday, Jan.12, 2024. Who knew discarding your de-decked tree could be so much tinsel-tinted fun?
