- Public Holiday Collection Schedule
To assist with planning your waste & recycling collections throughout the year, please see below for the 2026 collection schedule. This schedule outlines which Public Holidays our drivers will be operating as normal, and which days there will be no collections.
Please note:
- JJ’s Waste operates according to your agreed collection schedule.
- Collections do not automatically roll over to the next day like some local council services.
- If your business is closed on a Public Holiday where services are operating, or if you need to reschedule a collection on a non-service day, please contact our team to rebook or cancel your collection in advance.
- Our drivers may be working, but our office is closed on ALL Public Holidays.
