TownValetBaltimore: holiday pickup changes
DPW announces holiday trash changes one holiday at a time, so we do not move trash dates; check DPW’s notice. Recycling that falls on a holiday is made up on the Saturday of that week, as DPW’s recycling page says.
In the city’s words: “If your collection day falls on a holiday, please hold your recycling items until the make up collection day which will be the following Saturday.” (source)
Always check your city’s official notice. Cities sometimes change a holiday schedule at short notice. These dates are computed from the rule above and the holiday calendar; where the city publishes no standing rule we mark the holiday week “may change” and do not move any date.
