When is Your Trash Getting Picked Up in Herndon This Thanksgiving Weekend?

HERNDON, VA — Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to be with your family and relax, but all that trash starts to pile up and no one wants it sitting around for a long time. Thanksgiving creates interesting schedule challenges for local government, and your area will likely have its own unique refuse collection schedule.

So when exactly are garbage collectors going to pick up your trash? Herndon residents won't see much disruption in trash collection at all, as the town will simply delay refuse collection to Friday, Nov. 25.

The holiday doesn't impact collection of recyclables, which happens every Wednesday.

The town says it's OK to put trash on the curb as long as it's within 24 hours of a scheduled collection, so Herndon residents can place their trash outside on Thanksgiving.
