Full Breakdown
The holiday rule sits in the operations section of the contracted garbage collection chapter of the Spring Hill Municipal Code. Section 17-204(C)(1) lists six holidays for purposes of the collection contract: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Under § 17-204(C)(2), the contractor can decide to observe any or all of them by suspending collection service on the holiday, but that decision in no manner relieves the contractor of its obligation to provide collection service at least once per week.
The section does not print a make-up day or a rule such as a one-day shift, so the actual replacement day is set by the contractor and the routes it files with the city. Section 17-204(B) lets the contractor propose changes in routes or days of collection, which the city approves without unreasonable delay, and once the city approves, it must promptly give written or published notice to the affected units. Section 17-204(I) separately requires the city to notify all producers about complaint procedures, rates, regulations and the day or days for scheduled refuse collection.
The baseline in § 17-203(A)(1) is one curbside collection per residential unit each week, with carts at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the designated day. If a holiday pickup is missed, § 17-204(D)(1) requires the contractor, after a verified complaint, to collect the refuse not collected within 24 hours after the complaint is received. Collection hours stay between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. under § 17-204(A).
Violations & Fines
Title 17 prints no fine tied to holiday schedules. The enforceable duty runs to the contractor: it must still provide service at least once per week even if it suspends service on a listed holiday, and a verified missed collection must be cleared within 24 hours after the complaint under § 17-204(D). The contractor must keep a complaint log, including the time received, nature of the complaint and the nature and time of disposition, available for inspection by city officials.
