Memorial Day is a time to gather, grill, and remember—but it’s also a time when waste volumes go up. Here’s how to stay ahead of the trash this holiday.
Memorial Day Schedule Changes
C&C Disposal observes Memorial Day, so expect pickup to shift by one day for that week. For example, if your usual collection is Monday, it will happen on Tuesday instead. Always check our holiday schedule online for confirmation.
Extra Trash from BBQs and Gatherings?
- Bag and tie all food waste to prevent odors and pests.
- Break down boxes and flatten packaging.
- Dispose of charcoal responsibly—cool it completely, then bag it before placing in the trash.
- Recycle right: Clean aluminum cans and plastic bottles go in the recycling bin.
Yard Work Plans?
Many homeowners take advantage of the long weekend to tidy up outdoors. If you’re trimming trees or mowing lawns, remember:
- Bundle branches under 4 feet long.
- Use compostable bags for leaves and grass.
- Schedule yard waste pickup if needed.
We’re here to help your long weekend go smoothly, even after the party ends.
