When a city or its contracted hauler rebalances routes, thousands of households get a new trash or recycling day at once. The stories here report each change from the collector’s own notice: who is affected, when the new schedule starts, and where the official address lookup is. A weekday for a specific street is never assigned here; the lookup does that.
Where to start
The standing rule for each city lives on its edition: Nashville moved residential routes off Monday in February 2026, and States & Cities holds the other nineteen editions with their official lookups. When a change reaches your street, the address lookup on the edition is the place to confirm the new day, holiday collection changes covers the weeks that slide, and the holiday collection stories report each city’s holiday notice as it is posted. If an edition still shows an old rule, Report a Correction.
