WM announced the suspension of Thursday’s waste collection services due to lingering icy road conditions.

Customers with once-per-week garbage service will have their collection delayed by one day. Residents who receive twice-per-week service will need to wait until their next regularly scheduled pickup day.

The company recommends residents leave their carts at the curb until serviced, noting that recovery efforts may experience delays due to the two-day service suspension.

Regular waste collection schedules will resume next week.
