Schenectady has a rule of its own. The city's published rule: The City collects on a rotating district calendar: after each City holiday your collection day moves one working day later and stays there until the next holiday, so go by the dates on your district's calendar, not a weekday. The 2026 calendars mark Monday, October 12; Tuesday, November 3 (Election Day); Wednesday, November 11; Thursday and Friday, November 26 and 27; and Friday, December 25 as holidays.
The dates below are the federal holidays left this year, with what the city's own calendar does in each of those weeks.

How days are assigned
How Schenectady assigns collection days.
The City of Schenectady collects with its own crews (the Office of General Services) in five waste districts on a rotating calendar: after each City holiday, every district's collection day moves one working day later and stays there until the next holiday, so a home's day changes during the year. The lookup above reads the City's district map for your address and lists the next dates from the City's 2026 district calendars, never a fixed weekday; those calendars run to December 31, 2026. Rotterdam, Niskayuna and Glenville (with the Village of Scotia) collect separately, even with a Schenectady mailing address.
We last checked Schenectady on October 7, 2026: 7 of 8 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Schenectady's pickup days.
