How Providence handles holidays

If a holiday falls on your trash pickup day, trash is picked up the very next day, and pickups for the rest of that week shift by one day. The page lists Thanksgiving as the fourth Thursday in November and Christmas as December 25.

The holiday page covers trash only. It does not name a year and does not mention recycling.
