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

" This means the code itself does not enumerate specific holidays like Thanksgiving or Labor Day; instead it delegates that decision to the Town Board, which adopts a resolution identifying which holidays trigger a schedule shift for that year. The Sanitation Department then administers the shifted schedule under the Commissioner of Sanitation's direction, consistent with the general frequency authority in § 201-2(A)(1). Because the underlying holiday list is set administratively rather than fixed in the ordinance, residents must check with the Sanitation Department or the Town's published holiday collection calendar each year rather than relying on the code text for the specific dates.

What the code does fix permanently is the Sunday closure and the requirement that any other closure come from a Town Board resolution, not from unilateral action by the Sanitation Department or a private hauler.
