El Paso residents should be aware of the changes to the trash and recycling collection schedule during the holiday weeks, as announced by the City of El Paso, Texas, Municipal Government on their social media platforms. With the season bringing days of observance, the solid waste management services will undergo some temporary adjustments to accommodate the festivities.
Specifically, there will be no trash or recycling pickups on Christmas Day, Thursday, Dec. 25, and the following day, Friday, Dec. 26. To ensure residents still receive service, a make-up trash collection is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 27. Similarly, for the New Year's week, collections are paused on Thursday, Jan.1 and Friday, Jan. 2, with the make-up day falling on Saturday, Jan. 3.

"Wait to set out blue bins until your next regular recycling collection day," the City of El Paso reminds its inhabitants.
