Schedule & Holidays

Adjustments

Important refuse/recycling collection notes:

• The normal Four Day Refuse Collection Schedule (PDF) for the City of Bowling Green is Monday through Thursday during non-holiday weeks. The following is subject to change due to weather or other circumstances.
• If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the City will observe the holiday on Friday and this has no effect on the refuse collection schedule. If a holiday falls on a Sunday, the City will observe the holiday on Monday and this will delay the normal refuse collection schedule by one day that entire week.
