Garbage and Recycling Information

Garbage and Recyclables Collection Dates For 2026
​
NOTE: 
Glass bottles of any color or plastic bags are not accepted as recyclables. Dispose of glass and plastic bags with the normal trash.​
In discussions with our garbage collector, Winters Bros. has advised us of the following guidelines during times when there is a holiday in the week. In 2026 Winters Bros recognizes the following six (6)holidays:
  1. New Years Day. (Thursday January 1st) Next garbage collection is Saturday January 3rd.
  2. Memorial Day. (Monday, May 25th) Next garbage collection day is May 27th.
  3. Independence Day (Saturday, July 4th) Next garbage collection day is Tuesday , July 7th.
  4. Labor Day (Monday, September 7th. Next collection day is Wednesday, September 9th.
  5. Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 26th. Next collection day is Saturday, November 28th
  6. Christmas Day (Friday, December 25th) Next collection day is Saturday, December 26th.
It is important to understand that if any other holiday is not listed above, then the usual garbage collection day will be unaffected and will take place on the usual collection day. For example, Presidents Day (February 26th) is not listed above, therefore the usual garbage collection day (Tuesday February 27th) will be unaffected. 

Guidelines
  1. If one of the holidays listed above falls on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, garbage will be collected one day after the usual collection day. The recycle day in that week will be eliminated. Garbage collection will be back on schedule on Friday of the holiday week. 
  2. If a one of the holidays listed above falls on a Thursday or Friday, garbage will be collected on Saturday of that week."
