Um, no, they don't pick up the next day -- they pick up your regular trash day.

And I can understand the confusion -- have never heard of a place that has three pick up days a week (don't forget Wednesday's leaf pickup, unless you live in Lake County and then that's your recycle day). So, it really isn't unreasonable to think there might be a pick up on a major holiday.

And, Tal, thank you for the gentle reminder about Jonestown. I sincerely appreciate it. (I've given up saying anything since I got so blasted for asking the phrase not be used. Oh, well.)
