My city does things as follows:
Garbage day starts out on (some weekday).
Every time there are holidays, garbage day is pushed back permanently,
according to the number of holidays.

So, in the usual case of one holiday at a time, Wednesday garbage
would be moved to Thursdays from now until the next holiday, when it
would change to Fridays, and so on; but in December, with two holidays
in a row on the 25th and 26th, Friday garbage would move straight to
Tuesdays - we never have garbage pickup on weekends.

Any brilliant tricks, now that this dirty topic has been raised? :-)

Thanks
