Holiday Collection Schedule
2026 Holiday Schedule
During holiday weeks, routes may be delayed. For example, for a Monday holiday, we attempt to collect Monday and Tuesday routes on Tuesday; however, we might get behind so please keep in mind that if your cart is not emptied, it is more than likely due to the fact that we are running a bit behind schedule.
If the schedule states your cart will be emptied on your normal garbage day, we respectfully ask that you set the cart out on that day and keep in mind we might be running late. Thank you for your patience.
