The metro announced, mid 2014, that the day on which refuse was collected in each area would no longer change when there is a public holiday.
The metro moved onto a fixed schedule meaning that your refuse will always be collected on the same day.
If there is a public holiday, refuse will still be collected except on special days like Christmas.
In this case, you will miss one week of refuse removal.
Here is the current schedule which is still valid despite the 2014 dates.
