New Orleans: holiday pickup changes
The city announces each holiday change separately and publishes no standing rule, so we do not move any dates. In a holiday week, check the city’s notice.
In the city’s words: “Contractors will implement alternative collection services for those routes affected by observed holidays by shifting all affected collection days forward one day” (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.
