What’s open Labor Day? Grocery stores, SEPTA, trash pickup, and more.

Labor Day, which falls on Monday, Sept. 7, marks the unofficial end of summer in Philly — one last long weekend to squeeze in a Shore trip, a park picnic, or a few errands before fall routines kick in. But holiday weekends also mean schedule shifts, closures, and crowded highways.

This year, city services including trash collection will run on altered schedules, while government offices, banks, and other services will close for the day. Many businesses, stores, and attractions may also adjust their hours, so it pays to check before you head out.
