A huge, Thank You, to our Parks and Streets Department and Line Department for getting our town ready for the holiday season!
Melrose City Hall will be closed November 27th and 28th in observation of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is still a week away, but it may be time to start thawing your
turkey. Butterball recommends thawing a turkey for 24 hours for every 4-5
pounds. In other words, it takes four days to thaw a 16-pound bird in the
fridge. #SafetyTips

Keep indoor air comfortable and healthy this winter! Use a humidifier to
add moisture, which can help ease allergies, protect furniture and make
the air feel warmer. Humid air feels warmer than dry air, so you can lower
your thermostat by a few degrees and still feel comfortable, saving you
approximately 1% to 3% on heating costs for each degree you lower it.

The Melrose City Center will be closed on November 11th, 2025 in observation of Veteran's Day.
As nights get cooler, stay warm and safe. If you’re using electric blankets or
small space heaters, it’s essential to inspect the cords regularly to ensure
the wiring is not faulty or damaged. Always remember to unplug these
devices when not in use. #SafetyTips

Happy Halloween from the City of Melrose Admin staff! We hope to see you all later for the Melrose Trick-or-Treat at the Melrose City Center, 3pm-430pm!
Your Halloween decorations should be scary, not shocking! Toss anything with frayed or damaged wires to avoid electrical shock. Remember to use lights or inflatables marked “for outdoor use” if they’re going outside. Stay safe so you can enjoy the ultimate spooky night with those little ghosts and goblins. #SafetyTips
Strong communities are powered by dedicated first responders.

Reminder: West Central will pick up leaves this year as it has been done in the past. When putting the leaves into bags you will need to buy (Compost Bags) for the pickup. They will not pick up the regular lawn and leaf bags because they are not compost bags and will not degrade in the soil. They are available for purchase locally at: Kraemer Lumber and Melrose Hardware.
If you have any questions, please give West Central Sanitation a call at: 1-800-246-7630
