Christmas Day is an exception; shifted day not stated
The city lists Christmas Day as an exception to the regular schedule. Christmas falls on a Friday in 2026. The page does not say whether the Friday route is made up or on which day. No 2026 Christmas notice is posted.
The city's Holiday Collection Delays paragraph says garbage and recycling collection stay on the regular schedule all year except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day. It gives no dates and no shifted day.
The holiday statement covers garbage and recycling. Bulk trash is a separate page, and yard waste is not addressed.
