Holiday closures
Official November 2026 Public Disposal Calendar, linked from the YCSWA homepage, shows the Small Load hours pattern (Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m.-noon, Sunday closed) and lists Thursday, November 26, 2026, as CLOSED. Friday, November 27, 2026, is shown as regular 8 a.m.-4 p.m. hours, and Saturday, November 28, 2026, as regular 8 a.m.-noon hours. A December 2026 or January 2027 public disposal calendar was not posted when checked on November 12, 2026, so Christmas and New Year dates are not added from the office-closure list. The Authority office page separately says the office is closed New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas; those are office closures, not dates from the public disposal calendar.
