Roll Cart Trash Collection Schedule Adjusted to Accommodate Juneteenth 2026 in St. Louis

City of St. Louis, MO (.gov)· July 14, 2026

The City of St. Louis Refuse Division has announced a modified collection schedule for roll carts to observe the Juneteenth holiday on Friday, June 19, 2026. This adjustment impacts both solid waste and recycling services for residents across the city's municipal routes. Such logistical shifts are critical for waste management operations to ensure labor compliance while maintaining public sanitation standards during holiday observances.

The City of St. Louis Refuse Division is proactively notifying residents of schedule changes necessitated by the Juneteenth Day observance on June 19, 2026. For residents on the Monday and Thursday cycle, solid waste will be collected as scheduled on Monday, June 15, but recycling pickup will be moved forward to Wednesday, June 17. This shift ensures that recycling services are completed prior to the holiday closure, preventing overflow and maintaining the efficiency of the city's material recovery efforts.

Residents typically serviced on the Tuesday and Friday schedule will also see adjustments to their recycling timelines. While Tuesday solid waste collection remains on June 16, the Friday recycling pickup will be shifted to Thursday, June 18. Additionally, the city has confirmed that yard waste collection services will be temporarily suspended during the holiday week, with operations set to resume on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.

Beyond the immediate holiday schedule, the Refuse Division continues to provide resources for specialized waste streams including remodeling debris, bulky items, and hazardous materials. The city's B.O.A.T. program specifically addresses the disposal of batteries, oil, appliances, and tires to prevent illegal dumping and environmental contamination. These comprehensive services, alongside the holiday adjustments, reflect the city's ongoing commitment to integrated waste management and public health infrastructure.
