    U.S. holidays

    Federal holidays for the next 12 months. When a holiday falls on a weekend, the observed day (when federal offices close) is shown too.

    Federal holidays mean closures. Post offices are closed and there’s no regular mail delivery, and most banks and many government offices close too, usually on the observed day. Stores and restaurants set their own hours, so check before you go.
    HolidayDateObservedTrash pickup

    Trash pickup

    North River Farms trash, recycling, and green organics are picked up every Friday by WM (Waste Management), the City of Oceanside’s hauler.

    • Holiday weeks: WM observes six holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. When one falls on a weekday, pickup for the rest of that week is one day late, so Friday pickup moves to Saturday. Holidays on a weekend don’t delay pickup.
    • Upcoming delayed pickups: calculating…
    • Holiday trees: collection starts the weekday after Christmas and runs for three weeks.
    • Large items and missed pickups: call WM at (760) 439-2824. Large item pickups are free several times a year; call at least one business day ahead.
