The city announced that garbage and recycling collection will resume Thursday, after a couple of days off due to our ice storm. Service will slide back a couple of days: Routes normally collected on Tuesday will be picked up Thursday, Wednesday moves to Friday, and Thursday and Friday routes move to Saturday. If you piled up too much trash for your cart, the city will pick it up without requiring an Extra Garbage Sticker through Jan. 26.
