Holiday Schedule
Red Bird Waste observes five holidays. When your regular pickup day falls during one of these weeks, routes run one day late.
The rule
If your regular route day falls during the week of an observed holiday, pickup is delayed by one day that week. Otherwise the regular schedule is unchanged. Holiday delays only apply to the five holidays listed below — we run normal routes through every other holiday in the year.
