TownValetDenver: holiday pickup changes
After a holiday that Denver observes, collection is delayed one day for the rest of that week only. Thanksgiving week runs a special schedule that the city announces.
In the city’s words: “When service falls on or after an observed holiday, your collection will be delayed one day for the rest of that week only” (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.
