Bunker Hill Day tomorrow.

As I was bringing my recycling out just now, a neighbor said that City Hall has a holiday tomorrow, so I checked the Somerville website and indeed there's an Alert linked from the main page:

Monday, June 18th is Bunker Hill Day

Holiday Parking and Trash Pickup Regulations In Effect

Bunker Hill Day is an official municipal holiday in Somerville, as well as in Boston, Chelsea and certain other communities.

In Somerville, City offices will be closed for transactions. Residents and businesses should remember that parking meters will not be in force and that holiday parking regulations will be in effect.

As in the case of all weeks that begin with a Monday holiday, trash pickup will be delayed by one day for all city residents throughout the week.

The real question is: why is it either necessary or desirable to delay trash pickup one day because of this alleged holiday?
