Oak Park · Can-to-Curb

Oak Park holiday pickup playbook

Athens runs a six-holiday calendar in Oak Park. Memorial Day (May), Independence Day (July), Labor Day (September), Thanksgiving (November), Christmas (December), and New Year's Day (January) — every Wednesday route in those weeks bumps to Thursday.

That sounds simple until you realize Thursday morning is also a workday. The bins still need to be at the curb by 6am, but you're already in traffic on the 101. The result: half of Oak Park misses the make-up day, leaves bins on the curb until Friday, and gets the CC&R notice.

We track every Athens holiday automatically. If your normal day is Wednesday and the route shifts to Thursday, our crew shifts with it. You don't get a notification, you don't have to remember — bins are out Wednesday night, picked up Thursday, back the same evening.

The week between Christmas and New Year's is the messiest one — most homeowners are traveling and Athens runs an abbreviated schedule. That's exactly when our Oak Park can-to-curb service earns its keep.
