- Wednesday shifts to Thursday.
- Thursday collection moves to Friday.
- Friday services move to Saturday.
Bulk waste collections resumes on Tuesday, per the city. Normal collection schedules will resume on Monday, Jan. 8, 2024.
In time for both holidays, all residents are allowed two extra bags of garbage next to their cart on their first pickup day following each holiday.
The city’s four drop-off stations, where residents can bring additional garbage, and the Environmental Collection Center will close on both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The stations and center will reopen on Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.
