Yuma City Hall Closed Feb. 16; Monday Trash Collections Shifted to Tuesday

City of Yuma officials announced in a Feb. 9 press release that City Hall will be closed Monday, Feb. 16, in observance of President’s Day, and that early-week residential trash service will be shifted by one day, moving Monday collections to Tuesday. The city’s announcement means routine business at City Hall will pause for the federal holiday and some curbside schedules will change for the week.

Local reporting echoed the closure and the reopening schedule. “In observance of President's Day, Yuma City Hall will be closed on Monday, February 16, 2026, and will reopen for normal business hours on Tuesday, February 17,” Yumaaz reported. Social posts on X and Instagram also stated the office will be closed Feb. 16 and directed followers to trash-service updates, reinforcing the press release message.

Not all public messages were consistent. A City of Yuma Facebook post said, “The city will be closed on Monday, February 17 in observance of Presidents Day holiday. There will be no trash and recycling collections.” That statement conflicts with the city press release and other local posts, which list Feb. 16 as the holiday closure and indicate a one-day shift for early-week trash service rather than a full cancellation.

For residents, the most immediate impact is on pickup routines. According to the city’s press release, Monday trash collections will occur on Tuesday; residents whose regular pickup day is Monday should plan to place their carts curbside on Tuesday instead. The press release does not specify whether recycling follows the same shift or which collection zones are affected, and the Facebook post’s assertion of no collections statewide is at odds with the city’s official announcement.

The press release dated Feb. 9 is the city’s primary public guidance; local outlets and social channels repeated parts of that message but with variations in punctuation and wording for the holiday name. Because one city social post gives a different date and a different claim about trash and recycling, residents should monitor official City of Yuma communications for any correction or update.

City Hall is expected to resume normal business hours on Tuesday, Feb. 17, per local reporting. In the meantime, residents with Monday trash days should prepare for a one-day delay and watch the city’s official channels for any clarification about recycling or zone-specific changes. The conflicting Facebook post has not been reconciled in available public notices; if it remains uncorrected, the city’s communications office will need to clarify which schedule residents should follow.
