No collection Thursday or Friday; routes move to the weekend
Per the city's 311 article: no collection Thursday, Nov. 26 or Friday, Nov. 27. Thursday's pickup moves to Saturday, Nov. 28 and Friday's to Sunday, Nov. 29. Monday through Wednesday are regular.
There is no collection on the city-observed holiday. For the rest of that week collection runs one day late, and holiday weeks have no second weekly pickup.
The Philly311 article covers trash and recycling. Its Thanksgiving 2026 dates are on the city's 311 knowledge base, which sits on a salesforce-sites domain rather than a .gov page.
