HOLIDAY COLLECTION PROCEDURES FOR REFUSE, RECYCLING & LARGE ITEM COLLECTION:

The Next City holiday is Thanksgiving.  This is a two day holiday. Our staff will be off on Thursday November 26th and Friday November 27th.  

There will be no refuse or recycling collection either day. 

The residents of Thursday's District will have their material collected on Wednesday 11/25.

Residents in Friday's District will have their material collected on Monday 11/30.

 

The City of Madison Yard Waste Drop Off Sites will be closed on Thursday the 26th and Friday the 27th.  They will reopen on Saturday the 28th.  The sites will be open from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Refuse & Recycling:
The Streets Division does not provide refuse or recycling collection on City holidays.
Those holidays are:

  • New Year's Day
  • Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday
  • Memorial Day
  • Independence Day (July 4th)
  • Labor Day
  • Thanksgiving
  • The Friday after Thanksgiving
  • Christmas Day

It is the policy of the Streets Division to provide refuse and recycling collection in those areas affected by the holiday on the next working day after the holiday.
For example, all residents of Monday's trash collection districts will have their refuse and recycling collected the Tuesday after a Monday holiday (as listed above).

Exception: the two day Thanksgiving Holiday. Residents in the Thursday refuse district will have their material collected the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Residents in the Friday District will have their material collected on the following Monday.

For 2009 the residents of Thursday's District will have their material collected on Wednesday 11/25. Residents in Friday's District will have their material collected on Monday 11/30.

Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve:

The Streets Division does provide regular refuse and recycling collection on December 24th and December 31st.  However, our crews only work a half day on these dates.  Therefore it is important that you have your material out by 6 a.m. on east side and 7 a.m. on the west side.

Large Item Collection:

Large item collection is greatly curtailed during weeks with holidays.
We ask that you hold your large items until the following week if at all possible.
