Transfer stations also will be observing these holidays and will be closed on both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.  Transfer stations will run on holiday hours (6 a.m. to noon) on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

As a reminder, residents with curbside collection should have their containers on the curb by 5:30 a.m. to ensure timely collection.  The containers also should be four feet apart.  

Since same-day collection was implemented this summer, residents have to remember changes in service on only three holidays every year: Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.  To view how residents are impacted by these three holidays, visit phoenix.gov and click on the icon “Holiday Collection Schedule” (bottom right).
