Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Melbourne City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Thursday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
