This always confuses me.

If you look at the following city schedule for trash pickup, my "garbage" pickup day is Tuesday and my "Bulk/Brush & Recycling" pickup day is friday. http://www.cstx.gov/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=19761

Now the city releases their "holiday schedule" which says the following:

• Christmas Day - Thursday, Dec. 25
  No sanitation or recycling collection. Recycling routes will not be rescheduled. Thursday's sanitation routes will be collected on Friday and Friday's routes on Saturday.
  

So is Bulk trash considered "sanitation" which means my normal Friday route will be on Saturday or will the normal Friday "Bulk/Brush & Recycling" day occur.

I have a ton of recycles I need to put out plus have a lots of Christmas trash.

Disregard everything I said.

Big Bubba,

I apologize for the verbiage!

Thursday's bulk, garbage, and brush will be collected Friday.

Friday's bulk, garbage, and brush will be collected Saturday.

Thursday's recycling will not be collected and will not be made up this week.

Friday's recycling route will be collected as normal. So if you normally set your recycling out on Friday, it will be collected tomorrow.

Our smartphone app, MyWaste, is free and will send notifications when your route is affected by holidays or delays. We also send other notifications through it and you can look up hhw dates, recycling options for certain items, etc.

Merry Christmas!!

Thank you for the clarification!

The landfill is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day, so those are the only days you won't have garbage pickup. There are other holidays where City offices are closed (Christmas Eve for one recent example) but you still have garbage pickup.

Wanted to go ahead and post this week's collection schedule.

Thursday's bulk, garbage, brush, and recycling will be collected Friday.

Friday's bulk, garbage, brush, and recycling will be collected Saturday.

Happy New Year!!

Thanks for posting that. Saved me from putting out a bunch of bulk tomorrow.
