Holiday Trash and Recycling reminders:

Sliding trash/recycling pickup schedule for Thanksgiving Day and day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Day and New Year's Day
If your regular scheduled trash/recycling pickup falls on Thanksgiving (November 26), day-after-Thanksgiving (November 27), Christmas Eve (December 24), Christmas Day (December 25), or New Year’s Day (January 1), your trash/recycling pickup will slide one day, including to Saturday. For example, if your trash pickup is normally on a Thursday, it will be picked up on Friday. If it is usually on a Friday, it will be picked up on Saturday. Monday-Wednesday pickups are not affected. If your trash or recycling is not collected by the end of the day according to this sliding scale, please leave out your receptacles.

If you experience missed service or any other issues with your trash or recycling pickup, please be sure to submit a ticket at www.cedarparktexas.gov/reportaproblem and it will go straight to our provider, Cedar Park Disposal so that they may address the issue.

Extra week of recycling December 28, 2020-January 2, 2021:
As always, to help with all of the extra packaging and other recyclables from the holidays, the City of Cedar Park is pleased to offer an extra week of recycling the week of December 28, regardless of whether it is your designated recycling week.
