LEAP FORWARD - New holiday refuse and recycling collection system

In January, 2009 the City of Toledo introducee a new holiday refuse and recycling collection system designed to save money by reducing post-holiday overtime.

With the new LEAP FORWARD system, everyone's collection day will leap forward one business day after each holiday thus resulting in NO HOLIDAY OR WEEKEND COLLECTION of refuse and recycling.

It works like this:

After each city observed holiday your refuse and bi-weekly recycling collection day will shift ahead to the next business day. It will then stay there and remain your collection day until after the next holiday. After the next holiday the schedule will again "LEAP" ahead another business day. This will repeat 13 times for all city observed holidays in the year.
