Victorville, CA Trash & Recycling: Holiday Pickup Schedule (2026)

The rule lives in Chapter 6.36 of the Victorville Municipal Code. Section 6.36.065, titled "No collection on specified holidays," says solid waste and recyclable materials "shall not be collected on any holiday when the county disposal site is closed." The trigger is the county disposal site, not the City's own calendar, so a day off at City Hall does not by itself change your route.

When a regular collection day falls on one of those closure days, or the disposal site is closed for another reason, the same section says solid waste "shall be collected one day late through the end of the week." The code does not print a day-by-day table, so it does not say how a route that already runs late in the week is handled beyond that sentence.

The City's County Landfill page, maintained by Environmental Programs under Residential Solid Waste Services and Resources, names the closure days: "Christmas Day, July 4, Labor Day, Memorial Day, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Easter Sunday for sites open on Sundays." The page words the list as including those holidays, so the code test of whether the county site is actually closed is what governs. On the calendar, Thanksgiving Day is Thursday, November 26, 2026. Christmas Day is Friday, December 25, 2026. New Year's Day 2027 is Friday, January 1, 2027.

Section 6.36.030(b) puts the city manager or a designee in charge of supervising collection. When routes or days of collection are established or changed, that official must give notice "in such manner as he/she deems best," so a changed route day reaches residents through whatever notice channel the City picks rather than a fixed mailing requirement.

Collection is a citywide service. Under § 6.36.036, collection services go to all occupied premises, and § 6.36.080 has the fees billed to the owner through the City, itemized on a single bill with other utility charges. Because owners pay for service whether or not a holiday shifts the pickup, a delayed day does not change the charge. Section 6.36.060 separately requires solid waste to be removed from premises at least once per week, and curb-collection single-family homes get once-per-week service.
