Denver residents will have an unusual schedule<\/a> for trash pickup this week, ahead of Thanksgiving, and will have to wait longer for compost and recycling service.<\/p>\n

Instead of trash pickup on their normal days, the city\u2019s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure asked residents to set out their black carts by 6 a.m. Monday. Crews will work from Monday to Wednesday to collect waste across the city, according to a news release, since workers have Thursday off for the holiday.<\/p>\n

Residents whose service is normally later in the week can wait until one day earlier than their scheduled pickups to set out trash. So those with a Wednesday pickup have until Tuesday at 6 a.m. to set out their trash. Homes that typically have a Thursday pickup have until Wednesday at 6 a.m. to do so.<\/p>\n

The city won\u2019t provide any recycling or composting pickup this week.<\/p>\n

The changes are due to the Thanksgiving holiday and a citywide furlough day on Friday<\/a> that was called because of budget cuts.<\/p>\n

City officials asked people in areas scheduled for large-item pickup to set out those items on the same day they set out their trash this week.<\/p>\n

Most services will resume as normal next week. The city\u2019s every-other-week recycling calendars, however, will reset. Those who normally would have set out their recycling carts this week will instead have a pickup the week of Dec. 1, and then every other week after that.<\/p>\n

Those who had expected to set out recycling next week under the previous rotation will wait until the week of Dec. 8<\/a>, and then every other week following.<\/p>\n
