How days are set
Why there is no single trash day.
Across the 1181 city guides on this site, 44% read their days from a published route map, 13% from an address-level lookup, 20% from a dated calendar per address through ReCollect or Recycle Coach, where the weekday itself can rotate through the year, and 5% from a hauler’s own address records. The rest read one schedule for every home or another local source, or give no day of their own.
In 93% of the cities where we check addresses, the addresses we checked were not all collected on the same weekday, so the day depends on the street, not the city. Over the last 30 days, 3% of the homes we checked had a Saturday pickup.
That is why this site asks for a street address rather than a city. The city tells you who collects; the address tells you which day. How each answer is checked.
FAQ
Before the bins go out.
Quick answers about local sources, schedule coverage, holiday changes, and how your address is handled.
Is TrashDayNow a city service?
No. TrashDayNow is an independent lookup tool that uses local information and links you to the source used for your result.
Why can’t you find every address?
Local agencies publish schedules in different formats. Some support address-level lookups; others provide only general guidance, so coverage varies by location.
What about holiday changes?
Holiday service can change at short notice. We show a change only when the linked local source publishes it, and recommend confirming the source before setting your bins out. Each city’s published holiday rule, with its source, is in the holiday rules table.
Is trash pickup today or tomorrow?
Enter the complete address to see the regular weekday for each available service. Compare that day with today or tomorrow, then check the linked local source for any holiday, weather, or service alert. TrashDayNow does not assume a delay when none is published.
Do you save my address?
We don’t create an account. Your address is kept in this browser tab for up to 30 minutes and sent to our address-lookup provider (Esri) and the connected schedule provider only to complete your lookup. We also keep a service log of each lookup — the address, the result shown, and the time — so we can fix wrong or missing answers and choose which cities to cover next; log entries are deleted after 180 days and never include your IP address. If you choose to send schedule feedback, we keep a privacy-protected record so we can compare reports and prevent duplicates. Feedback records are removed after 180 days, and a feedback cookie can remain in this browser for up to one year.

Check an address Contact03 Methodology
The source stays with the answer.
Available schedules come from local collection sources. Each result links to the source used. If an address-specific pickup day cannot be verified, we say so instead of guessing.
Resident reports are clearly labeled and shown with their distance when they appear.
