Holiday Trash Schedule: One-Day Delay This Week

Glendale, CA · May 25, 2026

The flags are out along Brand Boulevard this morning, and the usual rush-hour hum has been replaced by a quiet holiday stillness. Whether you are heading to the Veterans Memorial or just firing up the grill, it is a day for a slower pace and a bit of reflection.

📰 The Lead

Today’s Memorial Day ceremony at the Veterans Memorial outside City Hall serves as the community’s focal point for reflection. Starting at 9:00 AM, the event features local veterans' groups, a color guard, and a keynote address honoring those who died in military service. Beyond the ceremony, expect a quiet day for city services. All municipal offices, libraries, and community centers are closed today. If you usually put your bins out on Monday, hold off—trash and recycling collection will be delayed by one day all week. The Glendale Beeline is also operating on a limited Sunday schedule, so plan your cross-town trips accordingly. The ceremony concludes with a traditional wreath-laying, a moment of silence that usually blankets the entire block of Broadway.

    • Tucked away in Brand Park, this Queen Anne-style Victorian was saved from demolition in 1979 and moved two miles to its current home. It once housed four different doctors over several decades, and today, its meticulously restored rooms offer a silent window into 1880s domestic life.
