Its Christmas weekend, and that means we're all going to have extra trash to deal with after opening presents and cleaning up after holiday meals. Sometimes, that can cause an extra headache because of trash collection schedules being changed so city workers can have the holiday off. How will it affect collection in your neighborhood? Here's the City of Victoria trash collection schedule.

Trash Collection
If your normal garbage collection falls on Christmas Day (Monday, Dec. 25), then your garbage will be collected on Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2017.

Extra Trash Collection the week following Christmas

The Solid Waste Dept. will accommodate customers with additional garbage from the Christmas holiday by offering extra trash collection on your designated day from Tuesday, Dec. 26 through Friday, Dec. 29, 2017.

PLEASE NOTE: Extra garbage for residents whose designated garbage day falls on Dec. 25 will be collected on Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2017.

Residents are asked to put extra holiday trash in either plastic garbage bags or standard store bought trash cans no larger than 45 gallons by 7 a.m. on their garbage collection day.

Place carts in front of the curb/gutter and/or street with the wheels/handle facing the residence. Cart lids must be completely closed. Carts must have a 5 ft. clearance between all City issued carts and any additional trash cans or other obstacles.

Yard Waste & Brush Collection

If your normal yard waste collection falls on Christmas Day, then your yard waste will be collected on Saturday, Dec. 23, 2017.

Yard waste will NOT be collected Tuesday, Dec. 26 through Friday, Dec. 29, 2017.

Christmas Tree Collection

Christmas trees will be collected as yard waste on your designated YARD WASTE day, beginning Jan. 2, 2018. Everything including stands, lights, ornaments and other decorations must be removed before the tree can be collected. Flocked trees (trees coated in artificial snow) will not be accepted as yard waste.

Recycling Collection

** PLEASE NOTE: If your regular recycling collection day falls on Christmas (Monday, Dec. 25), then your recycling will be collected on Saturday, Dec. 23, 2017. Curbside recycling for all other routes will be collected as normal.

Hopefully this helps you plan accordingly to avoid trash sitting for too long.
