Routine sanitation services such as trash and recycling pickups and bulk trash removal will proceed on normal schedules Wednesday, March 15. This follows cancellation of services Tuesday, March 14, due to the snow and ice.

Street sweeping, however, will not proceed because there is too much ice and snow remaining in the curbs for this service to be effective. Parking restrictions for street sweeping will not be enforced.
