Methuen runs on most holidays, and names the short list that changes. The city's published rule: When a collection day falls on a holiday, that day's collection and the rest of the week's run one day late (Friday's collection is on Saturday). The 2026 holidays are New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Patriots' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Trash and recycling are still collected on Good Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and Saturday, December 26.

The dates below are the federal holidays left this year, with what the rule means for each if Methuen observes it. The city's own calendar governs which holidays it observes.

Methuen publishes its collection routes as a map (City of Methuen trash day by street): each route area carries a fixed weekday for trash; the lookup reads that area for your address and turns the city's route codes into plain weekdays.

Trash is collected weekly.

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