Holiday Collection: Waste collection will not occur on holidays.  On weeks containing a holiday, waste collection service that week will be moved back one day following the holiday.  For example, if your waste collection day is typically on Monday, but that day is a holiday, your garbage will be collected on Tuesday; Tuesday’s normal collection will then move to Wednesday, and so on, through Friday.   (Click here for more information about Holiday collection schedules)

Holidays for City of Dayton: New Year’s Day; Martin Luther King Day; Good Friday; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Thanksgiving Day; Christmas Day.   

Note: During the holiday season, the 90-gallon limit will be waived at designated dates announced each year. Excess household trash will be collected during the regularly scheduled waste collection day. This will not include bulk items or items from cleaning out of basements, etc.
