Cordova moves Wednesday trash pickup to Thursday for Veterans Day

Cordova will collect Wednesday trash on Thursday, Nov. 12, and close City Hall on Wednesday, Nov. 11, for Veterans Day, the city said in a public notice.

The change affects only trash collection normally scheduled for Wednesday, according to the notice. The notice also thanked veterans for their service.

The city has paired office closures with pickup changes for past holidays. For Labor Day in 2025, it moved Monday pickup to Tuesday, and for Alaska Day that year it moved Friday pickup to the following Monday.

The city's regular trash rules still apply for the delayed pickup. Cordova provides weekly residential collection, and each residence may set out up to three cans a week, according to the city's utilities page. Trash must be bagged and tied and kept in clean, watertight, animal-proof containers with tight-fitting lids, according to the city's garbage collection guidance.

Homes outside the pickup area can take their garbage to the Whitshed Road baler facility. When the baler is closed, they can use the dumpster outside the facility, the city's guidance says.
