Holiday Pick up policy: If your pick up day occurs on Memorial
Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day, we will pick up the next day.
There is no pick up on or between Christmas Eve and New Years Day.
If your pick up day falls on New Years Day, we will pick up the following day. (thanks
for the holidays)
Bad weather pick up policy: If severely bad weather (standing snow,
treacherous ice, hurricane, etc.) occurs, we will skip that week,
