E.J. Harrison & Sons will maintain its regular trash, recycling and yard/organics waste collection schedule during the week of Veterans Day, November 8–14, 2026. The holiday falls on Wednesday, November 11, and residential customers can expect their carts to be collected on their normal service day.

Residents in Ventura, Camarillo, Ojai, Carpinteria and surrounding communities served by E.J. Harrison & Sons will experience no changes to their weekly collection schedule.

Regular Trash and Recycling Collection Continues

Veterans Day will not interrupt residential trash service for E.J. Harrison & Sons customers.

Customers should continue placing their trash, recycling and yard/organics waste carts at the curb on their regularly scheduled collection day.

The unchanged schedule also applies to Fillmore residents served by Santa Clara Valley Disposal.

All three carts can be placed curbside every week, making it easy for households to maintain their regular recycling and waste disposal routines throughout the holiday.

Remember to Recycle Food Waste Every Week

In addition to maintaining regular trash and recycling service, E.J. Harrison & Sons reminds customers to continue participating in weekly Food Waste Recycling.

Food scraps and other accepted food waste should be placed in securely closed paper or plastic bags before being deposited in the yard/organics waste cart.

This important step helps prevent contamination because food waste and yard waste are processed separately.

Even if you have no yard waste during a particular week, you can still place your organics cart at the curb with your bagged food waste inside.

California began requiring the diversion of food waste from landfills in 2022. Proper Food Waste Recycling helps reduce the amount of organic material entering landfills, where decomposing food waste produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Establishing a consistent weekly food waste recycling routine is one way residents can support local waste reduction efforts.
