Holiday weeks

Holiday weeks in Hamden for the rest of 2026.

Hamden runs on most holidays, and names the short list that changes. The Town's published rule: There is no refuse or recycling collection on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Collection for that day and the days of the week following are delayed by one day; a holiday on a Saturday or Sunday leaves the schedule unchanged.

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

Columbus / Indigenous Peoples' Day — Monday, October 12

Falls on a Monday. Not one of the Town's no-collection holidays, so collection runs as normal.

Veterans Day — Wednesday, November 11

Falls on a Wednesday. Not one of the Town's no-collection holidays, so collection runs as normal.

Thanksgiving — Thursday, November 26

Falls on a Thursday. Thursday collection moves to Friday and Friday's to Saturday.

Christmas — Friday, December 25

Falls on a Friday. Friday collection moves to Saturday, December 26.

How days are assigned

How Hamden assigns collection days.

The Town of Hamden's solid waste and recycling route map gives each street a collection day, Monday to Friday, with refuse and recycling on the same day; the lookup reads the route for your address.

Trash is collected weekly. Recycling is collected every other week on the refuse day, and All American Waste collects for the Town. The route map dates from 2019, with the Town's April 2023 street changes, and it also answers commercial and institutional streets, so the day is for residential curbside service. The lookup answers only inside the Town's own border, and near the line it checks the State's parcel map, so a home just over the line in North Haven, Cheshire or another neighbouring town gets no Hamden day, whatever its mailing address.

Some newer streets are missing from the map. For an address the map does not cover we say so rather than guess a day.

We last checked Hamden on October 7, 2026: 4 of 8 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Hamden's pickup days.
