The thought of the holidays quite often brings to mind the opportunity to take a day off work and maybe even spending time with family and friends. GSI employees look forward to these opportunities too.

Some holidays result in an adjustment to our regular pickup schedules. And yes, unfortunately, route personnel end up working the following Saturday to make up for the time lost for these holidays. 

Every year, we are flooded with phone calls from confused customers, and find that many either set out waste on days that are not observed holidays or set out waste on actual holidays, or miss their pickup entirely.

There are SIX major holidays that can affect your service schedule. These are as follows:

• New Years Day
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day (USA)
• Labor Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Day

No other holidays will affect your services, even if other area businesses or government offices are closed.
