TownValetColumbus: holiday pickup changes
Colour zones move one day later after every observed holiday (already built into the dates shown). For weekday zones the city publishes no standing rule; expect a delay in a holiday week.
In the city’s words: “There is no trash collection on these city-observed holidays. Your trash collection day moves forward one day after each holiday.” (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.
