Short answer: In many places, trash and recycling collection is suspended on Veterans Day (November 11) and will slide to the next business day or be rescheduled. Exact schedules depend on your city or county. What to do next

• Check your local waste authority’s site or call 311 (or your city’s DPW) for the official Veterans Day schedule and any make-up pickup dates.
• If your normal pickup falls on Tuesday, November 11, expect possible delays or a one-day shift (e.g., your pickup may occur on Wednesday or Saturday in some jurisdictions). Confirm the precise move date with your local authority.
• Plan to set out your carts the night before or earlier in the week if you have a holiday delay warning, and watch for notices about backlog pickups after the holiday.
