Why are trash and recycling collections cancelled on certain holidays? How are collections after such holidays affected?
On six major holidays, trash and recycling are not collected, and drop-off centers are closed, so that workers may spend this time with their families. Makeup collections for trash and yard materials, generally the next day, are shown on residents’ collection schedules. When these six holidays occur, paper and bottles & cans recycling collections are skipped for two weeks to allow collectors to focus on catching up on trash and yard materials collection.
