Yes, trash and recycling collection schedules in Philadelphia slide forward by one day following all official city holidays. The City of Philadelphia Sanitation Division observes eleven official municipal holidays throughout the calendar year, including New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. When an official holiday falls on a weekday, curbside pickup for that holiday and all remaining days of that service week are delayed by exactly 24 hours. For example, if a holiday occurs on Monday, Monday routes are collected on Tuesday, and Friday routes are completed on Saturday.
