Regular schedule; Thanksgiving is not listed as an exception
The city's only holiday statement says garbage and recycling are on the regular schedule all year except Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Thanksgiving is not named, so no change is listed. The city has posted no 2026 Thanksgiving notice.
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.
