Full Breakdown

removal window in § 235-3A still applies once that next scheduled day arrives. The parallel recycling article carries an identical rule in § 235-10L, which states that when a regular collection day falls on a legal holiday, recyclables shall not be set out until the next regularly scheduled collection day, unless special announcement of collection is made by the Town, so both trash and recycling shift together unless the Town issues a special notice changing that default.

Violations & Fines

Setting containers out during a holiday closure before the next scheduled day, or leaving them past the removal deadline once collection resumes, is enforced as a Class 3 violation under § 235-5 (trash) or subject to the § 235-13E warning/fine schedule (recycling placement), through appearance tickets issued under § 235-4/§ 235-12.
