With many Bucks County residents enjoying an extended Thanksgiving holiday weekend, private residential and municipal trash collection will be on holiday as well.

That means Bucks County residents who usually haul trash to the curb for Thursday removal will need to delay putting out the trash, in some cases until next week.

Here's what to know about altered trash collection in Bucks County, and how to find out when your trash collection company is collecting trash.

Middletown administration announced that its usual Thursday trash collection cycle will be skipped this week, and will resume on Monday, when it will be picked up.

Double trash, up to 20 containers, may be put out for collection on Monday, officials said. Collection on any other day will not be interrupted.
