Holiday service impacts can vary by municipal franchise agreement and specific collection route. In Highlands Ranch, major holidays (such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day) typically postpone collection by one business day when falling on or before your scheduled pickup:
Curbside trash is collected every Wednesday morning. Single-stream recycling is collected every alternating Wednesday (Week A).
HRCA rules require containers to be placed out no earlier than 5:00 PM the day before pickup and put away by 8:00 PM on collection day. Carts must be stored completely out of sight in garages or behind screened fences.
