Ellicott City runs on most holidays, and names the short list that changes. Howard County's published rule: Howard County slides curbside collection only for certain County holidays: on those holidays, collections on and after the holiday move one day later that week, and Friday moves to Saturday. Other County holidays leave the schedule unchanged. The slide table does not say how Historic Ellicott City's Monday, Thursday and Saturday trash moves in a holiday week.

The dates below are the federal holidays left this year, with what Howard County's published schedule means for each of those weeks.

Ellicott City is a census-designated place with no city government: Howard County's Bureau of Environmental Services runs weekly curbside trash collection, through County contractors, for homes that pay the County's yearly trash and recycling fee. The County's collection zones give each area its trash day, and the lookup above reads the zone for your address. Historic Ellicott City has its own County service, with trash on Monday, Thursday and Saturday for residents and businesses, and one zone beside it is collected on Saturday. Recycling, yard trim and food scraps have their own days. Ellicott City mailing addresses also reach into Baltimore County (Oella and the Catonsville side), which collects separately.
