How do holidays affect trash pickup?

Commonly, holidays push pickup to the next day (e.g., Thursday pickup moves to Friday). Some providers have special rules for Friday/Saturday routes. Always verify with your local hauler for critical dates.

Why does the tool ask for country and state/region?

Because public and regional holidays vary by location. Setting country and state/region helps load the right holiday calendar for your area and year.

Can I use ZIP code instead of city?

Yes. ZIP/city is mainly for sharing and exports, while the holiday calendar comes from your country/state and year settings.

What if my provider isn’t listed?

Choose the closest matching rule (or “City-run sanitation”) as a planning baseline, then confirm with official notices if your city publishes a unique holiday schedule.

Is this schedule official?

This tool estimates shifts using common provider rules plus public holiday calendars. For official confirmation, check your city/provider announcements—especially after storms or emergency closures.

Can I get reminders before a holiday delay?

Yes. Subscribe with your email and we’ll notify you when holiday shifts or major service-impact notices are published for your selected route setup.

How far ahead does it show changes?

The shift table shows upcoming holidays and estimated route impacts for your selected year. Expand the full table for more detail.

What about recycling or yard waste?

Rules vary. If your recycling/yard-waste schedule differs from trash, you may need separate route settings or provider guidance to confirm changes.

Will you add SMS alerts?

Yes—SMS and multi-address management are planned as future premium features. For now, email alerts are free.

How accurate are the results?

They’re rule-based estimates based on public holiday calendars and common provider policies. Always verify with your city/provider, especially for storms, missed pickups, or emergency service notices.
