Is There Trash Pickup on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day? [Video]

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday honoring the life and legacy of the iconic civil rights leader.

This year’s MLK Day also falls on Inauguration Day for President-elect Donald Trump, marking only the second time in 28 years that these federal observances align. The last time the two dates overlapped was during President Bill Clinton’s second inauguration in January 1997, which also included both inauguration events and MLK Day commemorations.

Trump’s inauguration ceremony will be held indoors on Monday due to the freezing cold temperatures forecast in Washington, D.C. This has been done by a handful of presidents over the years due to frigid temperatures.
