Trash, Recycling, and Parking Rules for the Next Two Weeks

In any week with a legal holiday, trash collections and other city pick-up service usually "slide" to the next day. With the both Christmas and New Year's Day on Saturdays this year, the disruption is minimized.

Here's how Department of Public Works (DPW) will handle all collections for Christmas Day and New Year's Day: DPW crews will follow the normal collections schedule and pick up trash and recycling Friday, December 24, and Friday, December 31. This applies to both once-a-week and twice-a-week collection neighborhoods. Trash and recycling containers should be put out for collection no earlier than 6:30 pm the night before collection and removed from public space by 8 pm on the collection day.
