How Los Angeles handles holidays

Most holidays do not change collection. Four 2026 holidays delay pickup one day for the rest of that week: New Year's Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The page covers single-family pickup and does not itemize trash, recycling and yard waste. Multifamily and business service under recycLA follows a different schedule.
