2025 -2026 Holiday Collection Schedule

As we prepare for the holiday season, we want to remind our Ebbetts Pass Corridor residents that collection services will be delayed by one day during holiday weeks. This applies to customers in Forest Meadows and communities east along Highway 4.

Holiday Delay Details

Days marked with a red border on the calendar indicate a one day service delay due to the Christmas and New Year holidays.

For the weeks of:

December 25, 2025

January 1, 2026

All collection days will shift forward by one day.

For example, if your regular service day is Friday, service will occur on Saturday for that week only.

Recycle Weeks

Recycle cart service (marked with an R) will follow the adjusted schedule shown on the calendar. And trash service will continue as scheduled, with the one day delay applied only during the noted holiday weeks.

How to Properly Dispose of Holiday Candles

Holiday candles make our homes cozy, but knowing how to dispose of them correctly is important.

Electronic candles cannot be recycled. Remove the batteries and place them in hazardous waste, then dispose of the candle in E-Waste.

Traditional wax candles and scented candles in glass jars also cannot be recycled or composted. Any leftover wax means they go in the trash.



Wishing you a warm and joyful holiday season. ✨💚
