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? ;)

This city has a set schedule and the only holidays that change it are
xmas and good friday.

Good Friday?  How quaint.

Good Friday's big in Australia too. Not sure about the mainland, but
in Tasmania the two biggest holidays of the year were/are Christmas
Day and Good Friday. Good Friday isn't even a holiday in the
Netherlands.

A lot of school systems fold it into their "spring break".  For
a while the company I worked for had a Catholic CEO who made it
a holiday for us.  His successor stopped that and gave it to us
around one of the summer holidays (late May, early July, or
early September), resulting in a three-day weekend.  Most people
deemed that more useful.
