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.

040 and must keep a current town business license and sales tax license. 100, which lets the council adopt implementing rules by resolution and allows civil fines for violating a duly adopted rule, with every day of noncompliance treated as a separate offense. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my trash pickup when a holiday falls on my collection day?
The contractor still has to collect your waste that week under Section 8.05.090, but the pickup date may shift. The contractor is required to tell customers about the change, so check the town's posted schedule or your hauler's notice rather than assuming your usual day applies.
Which holidays change the Sahuarita trash schedule?
The code does not list specific holidays; it applies broadly whenever a collection day 'falls on a federal or state holiday.' The contractor determines and announces the actual shifted dates each time, since Section 8.05.090 only requires that the change be communicated and that collection still happen that same week.
Who do I contact if my trash was not picked up after a holiday?
Contact the town's public works department or the contractor directly. Because the contractor holds the town's exclusive hauling contract under Section 8.05.040, persistent failures to notify customers or collect on the shifted date can be raised with the town manager's office for enforcement under Section 8.05.100.
