Summary
Sahuarita's trash contractor collects Monday through Thursday under Town Code Section 8.05.090. When a scheduled collection day lands on a federal or state holiday, the contractor must tell customers about the shifted pickup date, since the code still requires that week's waste to be collected on time.
Where such collection day(s) falls on a federal or state holiday, the contractor shall communicate to customers the changes in the scheduled pickup due to a holiday as waste must still be collected that week.

Full Breakdown
090 sets the town's residential collection window at Monday through Thursday, with waste picked up at least once and no more than twice a week and recycling collected no more than once a week. The same section addresses holidays directly: where a customer's regular collection day falls on a federal or state holiday, the contractor is required to communicate the resulting schedule change to customers, because the code specifies that the waste 'must still be collected that week' regardless of the holiday. The same communication duty applies to weather-related disruptions; if inclement weather forces a change in the scheduled pickup, the contractor must likewise notify customers of the new date.

Residents who miss a notice about a holiday shift should contact the contractor or the town's public works department directly rather than assume the standard weekday schedule holds.
Violations & Fines
There is no separate penalty written for a missed holiday notice; a contractor's failure to communicate a schedule shift is handled under the town council's general rulemaking power in Section 8.05.100, which authorizes civil fines for violating any duly adopted collection rule or regulation, with each day of continued noncompliance counted as a separate offense.
