Here you can see the city-observed holidays.
- New Year’s Day: 1st Day in January
- Memorial Day: Last Monday in May
- Independence Day: 4th Day of July
- Labor Day: 1st Monday in September
- Thanksgiving Day: 4th Thursday in November

If the holiday happens to fall on Saturday or Sunday, your collection schedule will not be affected.
If the holiday falls on a weekday, the collection schedule will be delayed one day from the day of the holiday for the remainder of the week.
For instance, if the holiday falls on a Wednesday, then Monday and Tuesday collections would be performed as regularly scheduled, Wednesday’s collection would occur on Thursday, Thursday’s collection would occur on Friday, and Friday’s collection would occur on Saturday.
