Irondequoit, NY Trash & Recycling: Holiday Pickup Schedule (2026)

The holiday rule is in § 192-26B of the Town of Irondequoit Code, which governs collector regulations: no collections shall be made on Sundays or holidays. The word is defined in § 192-5 as commemorations recognized by law, including Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Because the definition uses the word including, the six named days are the ones the Code prints.

The same subsection sets the daily window for crews: collections cannot commence earlier than 7:00 a.m., and all collection work stops at 6:00 p.m. Commercial establishments on Ridge Road East are the one exception, where commercial collections can start at 6:00 a.m. and also stop at 6:00 p.m.

Section 192-26 does not print a make-up day for a skipped holiday. The schedule detail comes from the collector: § 192-26C requires each refuse collector to issue customers, every year and at its own expense, written information giving its name, address and telephone number, stating the day upon which collection is made, and summarizing services, conditions for pickup and rates. Section 192-13 also requires each collector to keep a telephone line staffed from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every business day and to respond to each inquiry, complaint or message within 24 hours.

Residents are protected from a holiday gap by § 192-19A, which requires refuse to be collected at intervals not less frequent than once every seven days but excepts holidays, Sundays, vacations or extraordinary weather. The Town does not run its own pickup route; collectors are licensed under § 192-6 for a calendar year.
