Trash Pick Up Holidays
Here you can see the city-observed holidays.
- New Year’s Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
If the holiday falls on a weekend day, there will be no interruption in service. Otherwise, pickup will be one day later for the week following the observed holiday.
For Example: Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday; therefore the schedule change would be as follows:
Residents with a Thursday scheduled collection would be picked up on Friday and residents with a Friday scheduled collection would be picked up on Saturday. Collection resumes the regular schedule the following Monday.

Have bulky items the city won’t pick up? You need a junk removal service.
If you have large items that the city won’t take from you, you may need to hire a junk removal service.
Junk removal services are not be as picky about the items they’re collecting so if the city won’t take the item, this may be your best bet. There’s usually a fee involved with junk removal but most companies can tell you ahead of time approximately what it’s going to cost.
