Pullman Disposal Service observes the
following holidays:
- New year's Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day (The Fourth of July)
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
Collections Delayed on Holidays:
Garbage and recycling pickups for residential customers are delayed until the following
business day. No other day's collections are effected. Thus if you have your
trash collected on a Thursday, your trash will not be collected on Thanksgiving Day;
rather it will be collected on the day after Thanksgiving. Also if your trash is
collected on Friday normally, it will be collected on Friday right after
Thanksgiving. That is, your trash collection schedule will be affected only if your
trash is to be collected on the day that one of the above five holidays is observed.
Holidays on Weekends:
We observe the above holidays on the day that they are observed nationally. That is,
if Christmas falls on a Saturday and the holiday is observed the day before (Friday),
we also observe that Friday. Your trash would be collected the next business
day which, in this case, would be the following Monday.
Commercial Garbage Collection Exception:
All of our routes (trash collection, curbside
and apartment recycling, cardboard collection,
yardwaste collection, and medical waste collection) are not run on
these holidays except for some commercial trash collection on occasion. Some of our
front-loading garbage dumpsters may be collected a little before, on, or a little after
the officially observed holiday in order help ease the disruptions caused by the holiday
collection schedule.
Recycling Center Schedule:
The recycling center is normally open for Aluminum Can buyback
on Wednesdays [4:30 to 5:30] and Saturdays [1:00 to 4:00]. The recycling center is
closed if either Independence Day, Christmas, or New Year's Day fall on
Wednesday or Saturday. It is also closed if one of the observed holidays fall on
Thursday or Sunday; for example, the recycling center will be closed on the Wednesday
before Thanksgiving as Thanksgiving falls on Thursday. |
