Christmas will impact trash pick-up for some Tri-Citians. Here’s the collection schedule

The holiday season brings an excess of good food, gifts and purchases. Each part of winter celebrations, however, brings about its own fair share of garbage.

No matter how much trash you go through on a regular basis, it’s likely you have even more during the holidays.

While trash collection is always an essential part of living anywhere, it’s especially important as trash piles up over Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah or any other winter holiday.

This Christmas, prepare for trash collection at your household by knowing the holiday schedule.
