Holiday weeks
Pawtucket runs on most holidays, and names the short list that changes. The city's published rule: There is no collection on a City holiday that falls on a weekday. Collections from the holiday through the end of that week are made one day later, so Friday's move to Saturday, and recycling moves too in a recycling week.
The dates below are the federal holidays left this year, with what the rule means for each if Pawtucket observes it. The city's own calendar governs which holidays it observes.
Falls on a Monday. Monday pickups and every pickup after them that week move one day later (Monday to Tuesday, Tuesday to Wednesday, Wednesday to Thursday, Thursday to Friday, Friday to Saturday).
