Holiday pickup changes, city by city
Every city handles holidays its own way: some slide the rest of the week by a day, some make up the missed day on Saturday, some skip it, and some decide holiday by holiday. Here is the next year, worked out from each city’s rule.
Always check your city’s official notice. Where a city publishes no standing rule, we say “pickups may change” instead of guessing a date.
