Published on December 17, 2025

By Office of Communication

City of Arlington municipal offices and facilities will be closed on Wednesday, Dec. 24 and Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025, in observance of the Christmas holiday.

Residential and commercial garbage and recycling collection will not occur on Thursday, Dec. 25.

Residents whose regularly scheduled garbage and recycling collection day falls on Dec. 25 or Dec. 26 will have their curbside collection shifted by one day because of the holiday. That means residents who normally set out their bins curbside for collection on Thursdays will set them out for collection on Friday, Dec. 26 instead. Residents whose garbage and recycling collection day is on Fridays will set their bins out for collection on Saturday, Dec. 27. Residential garbage and recycling collections will resume on their normal schedules on Monday, Dec. 29.
