Is trash picked up on Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2027?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2027 falls on Mon, Jan 18, 2027. Whether your trash is picked up depends on your city: here is what each city on this site publishes for 2027 and 2026.

The short answer

Other year2026: Mon, Jan 19, 2026

Pattern in 2027Of the 264 cities on this site, 2 delay pickup by a day, 4 move the affected day’s pickup, 1 skip pickup without a make-up day, 1 change pickup in another way, 2 make no change, 4 do not list it, 250 publish only a general rule.
Pattern in 202628 delay pickup by a day, 4 move the affected day’s pickup, 3 skip pickup without a make-up day, 11 change pickup in another way, 41 make no change, 39 do not list it, 138 publish only a general rule.

Counts come from each city’s published notice or holiday table; a city that has not yet published its 2027 list is counted as “publishes only a general rule” or “does not list it”, never guessed. Federal date: OPM federal holidays, checked October 30, 2026.
