Checked October 31, 2026 against the city's and its hauler's own pages. We never print a pickup day for a whole city, because it changes by street.
🗓️ How Pickup Works
Most crews run a four-day schedule and do not collect on Wednesdays; the schedule may change during holiday weeks. Bulk trash is collected every other week on the same day as recycling. Enter your address in GSO Collects to see your schedule, set a reminder, or print a 2026 red or blue calendar. Bulk items must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on collection day.
The City's own crews collect residential trash.
