Hillsboro holiday trash schedule 2026
| City’s rule | Varies by hauler, but every Hillsboro hauler that publishes a rule (WM, Hillsboro Garbage Disposal, Pride) says only Christmas Day and New Year's Day affect collection: if the holiday falls on a weekday, collection that day and the rest of the week is one day later, with Friday customers served Saturday. All other holidays: regular collection. (2026-27: Christmas and New Year's Day both fall on Friday, so only Friday routes shift to Saturday.)9 |
