Trash and recycling?

[ayalanya.livejournal.com]

I've been looking around on a couple of town websites, and they're well-nigh impossible to navigate. Is there any information available about when trash and recycling are going out this week, since tuesday is a holiday?

Edit: I have sufficient information now. Thank you.

yes, when the holiday falls on a monday. in this instance i'm not sure that's the case.

The website says "a day later on holiday weeks".

Well, there's not going to be any pickup on Tuesday. That's a no-brainer. So Tuesday and onward will be a day late.

It seems likely to me that there will be pickup on Monday; it's not a state holiday or anything.

On the Recycling page of the City of Somerville website, at http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/section.cfm?org=Environ&page=108 (http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/section.cfm?org=Environ&page=108).

http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/ is the city's website. It contains all of the city's press releases, and an assortment of other information, sometimes helpful.

The city website has most things eventually, but it is a pain to search. I usually end up clicking on links for a while and not trying to search at all.

The new "most frequently requested links" list is helpful. Therein I found:
http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/Works.cfm?page=28
which on the sidebar has a link to "curbside recycling pickup", which led to the page:
http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/section.cfm?org=Environ&page=108
which contains the phrase:

"Holiday weeks: your trash/recycling will be picked up one day after your regularly scheduled trash day."

But honestly, I just poked around on the webpage until I found something that confirmed my first suspicions, which was "no trash pickup on state holidays, and the rest of the week's pickup is bumped forward."

fantastic! thank you. i'd found that website and went pretty much immediately to search engine. so i probably gave up a little too quickly, then - good to know for future dealings with this one.
