I did that Sunday night and forgot Monday was a federal,
state, and local holiday.  They picked up trash today.

local municipality contracts with a private hauler, which doesn't
feel the need to observe those federal holidays.  We don't have
any state holidays that aren't also federal holidays.

  I don't get it.  Ours is delayed a day and the pickup people have to work Saturday.  I don't know if they get paid extra for it but the work is the same.
 

I tried several different trash pickup services over the years and they always promised next day after a holiday pickup but they never did show up the next day.  Or even necessarily that week.  Republic Waste, Waste Management, Sunshine Trash Services.
I finally found a local service that not only picks up on holidays but charges less for their weekly service.
It's not that I begrudge anyone taking a holiday off.  Take the day off!    But don't promise you'll pick up a day later and still charge me for *not* doing it.  Meanwhile, the trash piles up and you don't show up until the next week maybe?  I am so happy I found a locally based service trash pickup service that actually does what they say they will do.
