Trash fines on Monday...

It seems that, while the trash collectors got Monday off, the enforcement staff didn't.

How many people got ticketed for having their trash out a day early? {sigh}

What a crappy move by the city. Completely opportunistic, taking advantage of people being forgetful. Are they more worried about improper trash disposal or simply making money?

I think the answer to your question is pretty clear :-/

Columbus Day is one of those holidays that a lot of people don't get off, and therefore don't remember. As someone else mentioned, the T considers it a regular day.

This is simply revenue enhancement. Apparently, they can afford to pay ticket writers holiday pay, but not people who actually do something useful, like pick up the trash...
