Holiday Schedule
General Rule
Republic Services observes six major holidays annually. If an observed holiday falls on a weekday (Monday through Friday), collection routes for that specific day and all remaining weekdays in that calendar week will be delayed by exactly one day. For example, regular Friday routes will shift to Saturday.
Yard Waste Exception
Organic waste and recycling collections delay uniformly alongside standard trash routes.
If an observed holiday lands on a Saturday or Sunday, there is absolutely no delay or change to your regular weekday collection schedule.
Observed Holidays
Seasonal Information
Autumn Leaf Management and Runoff Guarding
October - DecemberHeavy autumn leaf fall must go straight into your green organics container. Local ordinances strictly prohibit residents from sweeping or blowing leaves into public street gutters, as loose garden debris clogs municipal storm sewer grates and sweepers.
After-Christmas Trash Bags Special
DecemberTo handle heavy holiday wrapping and packaging debris, Suisun City coordinates a temporary post-Christmas allowance. On your very first scheduled pickup day following Christmas Day, each household can set out up to two extra trash bags on the side of their regular carts for a free pickup.
Post-Holiday Christmas Tree Composting
JanuaryNatural, unflocked Christmas trees are recycled in early winter. Strip all tinsel, stands, and ornaments. Cut trees into lengths no longer than 18 inches to fit loosely into your green organics cart, or place them adjacent to the green cart during scheduled routes.
Local Tips & Community Info
Suisun City's Coordinated Solid Waste Operations
In Suisun City, keeping the local environment clean is a streamlined process overseen by the Public Works Department. Residential trash, recycling, and organics services are managed through an exclusive franchise agreement with Republic Services, locally doing business as Solano Garbage. This partnership ensures that all single-family homes have access to reliable weekly curbside pickups while complying with sweeping state mandates designed to minimize landfill reliance. Whether you are discarding daily household refuse or looking for proper disposal methods for unusual items, understanding the city's specific protocols is key to maintaining a beautiful neighborhood.
Navigating the Three-Cart Separation System
Republic Services outfits each single-family residence with a standardized set of three color-coded carts to handle different waste streams. Typically, you will receive two 96-gallon wheeled bins and one smaller 35-gallon bin. The Blue Lid cart (35-gallon) is dedicated solely to clean recyclables such as flattened cardboard, glass bottles, aluminum cans, and rigid plastics. The Green Lid cart (96-gallon) captures all organic waste, including grass clippings, branches, and all household food scraps to meet California's SB-1383 composting regulations. Finally, the Brown or Grey Lid cart (96-gallon) is meant for your remaining non-recyclable solid waste, like diapers, treated wood, and plastic wrappers.
Guidelines for Curbside Placement
To guarantee your bins are serviced without a hitch, they must be rolled out to the street early on your designated pickup day. The automated mechanical arms on Republic Services' collection trucks require adequate spatial clearance to operate safely. Ensure your carts are spaced at least a few feet apart from one another and placed far away from parked vehicles, low-hanging branches, and mailboxes. Carts should sit directly against the curb with their handles facing your property, and all lids must be fully closed to prevent litter from blowing into the street or local waterways.
Scheduling Annual Bulky Waste Collections
For oversized items that simply will not fit into your curbside carts—such as old mattresses, broken furniture, or large appliances—residents with active accounts can take advantage of the annual Bulky Waste Pick-Up program. Since this service requires specialized trucks, you must contact Republic Services directly at (707) 437-8900 to arrange your pickup day and verify that your specific items are eligible. White goods and appliances are also accepted during designated drop-off weekend events held multiple times throughout the year.
Managing E-Waste and Hazardous Materials
Toxic chemicals and electronic devices are strictly prohibited from all standard residential carts. Suisun City residents can dispose of electronic waste (like old TVs and computers) for free by taking them to the Republic Services drop-off facility located on Industrial Court in neighboring Fairfield. For household hazardous waste, the city supports a BOPA collection program, allowing locals to safely drop off household Batteries, motor and cooking Oil, latex Paint, and Anti-freeze. Appointments can be scheduled by calling (707) 437-8971, ensuring these dangerous materials are processed without harming the local ecosystem.
