Santa Barbara runs on most holidays, and names the short list that changes. MarBorg Industries' published rule: MarBorg observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas: after a weekday holiday, trash, recycling and yard-waste pickup is one day late for the rest of that week (Monday's moves to Tuesday, and so on, with Friday's on Saturday).

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

MarBorg Industries collects for the City of Santa Barbara, residential and commercial, and publishes a service schedule lookup for City customers; the lookup above reads MarBorg's schedule for the exact address you enter. There is no single citywide weekday.
