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. Now you know! The following are upcoming holidays where trash pickup in East Greenwich will be delayed one day for the remainder of the week that the holiday occurs: Monday, October 8, 2012, Columbus Day Monday, November 12, 2012, Veterans Day Thursday, November 22, 2012, Thanksgiving Day Tuesday, December 25, 2012, Christmas Day

What to love and loathe about living in East Greenwich this week.
Rant: OK, so here’s how it works: Trash* will be picked up on Mondays in my neighborhood except when it is a holiday** on which the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation*** is closed or there is a hurricane or floods****, in which case, the trash is bumped to Tuesday*****. *A little footnote on the government and trash — the things you leave outside your home at the edge of your property are unprotected by the Fourth Amendment. For example, once you carry your trash out of your house or office and put it on the curb or in the dumpster for collection, you have given up any expectation of privacy in the contents of that trash. **Victory Day - i,e., VJ Day - is considered a holiday by the RIRRC. President’s Day is not.***** ***What do …
