What else is closed for Thanksgiving?
Post offices: The post office is closed on Thanksgiving Day and there is no regular mail service.
UPS and FedEx: UPS and FedEx will be closed for Thanksgiving with no pickup or delivery service. Most locations will also be closed on Thursday and some may have changed their hours the previous Wednesday. Locations are expected to reopen for Black Friday.
Banks: Most banks will close for Thanksgiving because it is a federal holiday. Online banking, mobile banking and ATMs may remain available.
DMV: Thanksgiving and Black Friday are both considered holidays in Illinois, so most DMVs will likely be closed on both days. Yet some Secretary of State offices “operate on different schedules.” Drivers are encouraged to check each location for the most accurate times. You can do this using the office’s Facilities Finder tool.
Waste collection: Trash and recycling will not be collected on Thanksgiving Day.
