Why not just always work the 4-day workweek if they can get the same work done in less time as they often do after holidays like Memorial Day?

The trash collectors do also collect from a lot of places that does not have a scheduled trash pickup. For example a lot of commercial and industrial sites have a larger container that the trash collectors can pick up at any time. And for example public trash bins might be collected by the same companies that collect private bins. So they might move some of these routes to other weeks away from the holidays. The trash collection companies also have other tasks then just collecting trash, they might do the sorting as well and a lot of other related tasks. They might defer some of these tasks during short weeks to get extra crews doing trash collection. Similarly the employees have their personal vacation some times during the year and this might be better to do away from public holidays. As for equipment they do need to have spare trash collectors in order to allow for breakdowns and scheduled maintenance. So if they have extra crews they just make sure to not schedule maintenance at these dates.
