Holiday Trash and Recycling Schedule

While trash pickup normally follows a fixed weekly schedule, some holidays impact collection:

• New Years – No service on January 1st. 1 day delay all week.
• Memorial Day – 1 day delay all week.
• Independence Day – No service on July 4th. 1 day delay if July 4 is Mon-Thurs.
• Labor Day – 1 day delay all week.
• Thanksgiving – No service on Thanksgiving Day. 1 day delay all week.
• Christmas – No service on Christmas Day. 1 day delay all week if Christmas falls Mon-Thurs.

So if your regular trash day is Monday, expect collection to slide to Tuesday on holiday weeks. Recycling also shifts back a day.

Managing Trash and Recycling Service

Follow these tips for smooth waste collection:

• Know your normal collection days and mark your calendar.

• Check the holiday schedule annually and adjust your calendar.

• Hold materials until your adjusted pickup day after holidays.

• Don’t set bins out on days without scheduled service.

• Containerize trash and tie bags to prevent scattering.

• Bring bins in from curb within 12 hours of service.

Proper planning ensures you appropriately handle waste even with holiday changes.

Timely placement of properly prepared items is key for pickup. Avoid setting bulky waste curbside outside your scheduled month.
