HOLIDAYS
Refuse is not usually collected on holidays, and refuse collection schedules may vary during holiday weeks. Generally, residents should put their trash out on the normally scheduled day during a holiday week (those scheduled for the holiday itself should put their trash out on the following day). During holiday weeks, we work longer days following the holiday to catch up.
For example: If Monday is a holiday, then collections normally scheduled for Monday will be collected on Tuesday. Once all refuse normally scheduled for Monday has been collected, our crews will begin collecting refuse normally scheduled for Tuesday. On the following day, (Wednesday), our crews will complete Tuesday's collection and start on Wednesday's collection. By the end of the week, we will have collected all refuse for that week.
In the event a holiday falls later in the week, and we are not able to complete collections by the end of the day on Friday, our crews will work on Saturday until completed.
Refuse will not be collected on the following holidays:
New Years Day
Presidents Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Election Day (unless it falls on the same week as Veterans Day)
Veterans Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
