Is trash picked up on Veterans Day 2026?

Veterans Day 2026 falls on Wed, Nov 11, 2026. Whether your trash is picked up depends on your city: here is what each city on this site publishes for 2026 and 2027.

The short answer

DateWed, Nov 11, 2026
Other year2027: Thu, Nov 11, 2027
Rule for the dateNovember 11. When it falls on a weekend, federal offices observe the Friday before (Saturday) or the Monday after (Sunday); cities set their own trash schedule.
Pattern in 2026Of the 271 cities on this site, 22 delay pickup by a day, 2 move the affected day’s pickup, 9 change pickup in another way, 53 make no change, 54 do not list it, 131 publish only a general rule.
Pattern in 20272 make no change, 4 do not list it, 265 publish only a general rule.

Counts come from each city’s published notice or holiday table; a city that has not yet published its 2026 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.
