Trash Pick Up Holidays
On City of Santa Fe-observed holidays, there will be no residential trash and recycling collection. The collection scheduled for a holiday will move to the next day of the week, and any of the remaining collection days move forward as well (depending on what day the holiday falls on).
They have a free app, Recycle Coach, that allows you to view your schedule and get notifications about upcoming schedule changes for holidays. The City of Santa Fe will also send out reminders with their holiday closure emails.
