Adair County, IA Trash & Recycling: Holiday Pickup Schedule (2026)

The county does not set curbside collection days or holiday shifts. Waste and recycling reach the Adair County Sanitary Landfill and Recycling Center, 1645 IA-25, Menlo, by drop-off. The landfill serves Casey, Bridgewater, Fontanelle, Greenfield, Menlo, Orient and Stuart, and all unincorporated areas of Adair County. The document that governs holiday service is the county's own 2026 Landfill Holiday Schedule, and Ordinance No. 32, Section 1 is the county rule that sends solid waste generated in the unincorporated area to that landfill.

The schedule states that the landfill will be closed on these holidays in 2026: Thursday, January 1st, New Year's Day; Monday, May 25th, Memorial Day; Friday, July 3rd, Independence Day Observed; Saturday, July 4th, Independence Day; Saturday, September 5th, Labor Day Weekend; Monday, September 7th, Labor Day; Thursday, November 26th, Thanksgiving Day; Friday, December 25th, Christmas Day; and Friday, January 1st, 2027, New Year's Day.

Two closures fall on Saturdays that would otherwise be scheduled Saturday openings: the Saturday schedule on the landfill page also states the landfill is closed July 4th for Independence Day Weekend and September 5th for Labor Day Weekend. Regular hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Thursdays 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Fees are payable by cash or check only.
