📢IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Aberdeen Main Street 2026 Calendar reflects the upcoming Yard Waste Collection Day as September 12th. This is INCORRECT.

Due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, September 7th, there will be no trash collection. This will delay trash pick up by one day for ALL ZONES, making Saturday, September 12th a regular trash pick up day (NOT YARD WASTE).

We apologize in advance for any confusion this may have caused. Thank you!
