The Animal Shelter is running with modified services and operating by appointments only. The Richardson Public Library is also operating with modified services. The lobby at the Richardson Municipal Court building is closed, but customer service via telephone or online is available. Parks and Recreation facilities are closed, but public art and trails are still accessible.

“Effective this Thursday, April 9 we will only be providing residential trash service once a week and this is a temporary strategy.
