Trash Collection Delayed A Day For Columbus Day

If your trash is picked up on Mondays, you don't have to worry about getting it to the curb tonight.


Not everyone has Columbus Day off, so it's understandable to wonder whether or not trash pickup happens normally this week.

It doesn't.

Columbus Day is a municipal holiday, so trash pickup is delayed one day for the whole week. In other words, if your trash is normally picked up on Monday, this week it will be picked up on Tuesday, and so on. Friday trash is picked up on Saturday.
