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

My trash gets picked up on MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Juneteenth
(I'm suprised Trump is keeping that one), and Veterans' Day.  The
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.

Trash and recycle guys are all city employees and the city
honors all federal holidays.

People in this area have to hire private trash pickup.  No city or
county trash pickup.  The major outfits (Republic Waste, Waste
Management, Sunshine, etc.) do *not* pick up on holidays.  A local
outfit does pick up on holidays and charges a hell of a lot less for the
service.  Guess which one I use? ;)

You have different garbage collection companies collecting garbage in
the same street? That sounds insane.

Free enterprise.  No central planning. 

Some places also have more than one electric utility providing
power, using the same transmission lines.
