No residential garbage/recycling pickup again today

Just in from the city, updating yesterday’s announcement:

No residential collection today due to unsafe road conditions. Tuesday customers may set out twice as much next week at no additional charge. We will attempt to collect recycling in the off week as well. Wednesday customers should set their carts out for Thursday collection. We will attempt to collect Thursday, weather permitting.

In addition, our North and South Transfer stations are closed to the public.

    Not sure why these pickups were canceled yesterday and today when the streets were clear. Even onour back street people were able to get in and out. So we can leave out extra next week – our garbage can is full, so where do we put the “extra”?

      If the drivers can’t get TO work, they can’t drive the trucks to your house no matter how clear the roads are.  Anyone living in outlying areas, especially up north, probably did not make it into work today.

    This’ll be awesome with a Christmas this weekend. Well-played.

    Are apartment and condo buildings considered Residential in these weather scenarios?

      Do they have residents?  Then yes…

        Your sarcasm is unbecoming.  Apt and condos are on different schedules than SFR’s and they have large metal dumpsters (not rolling cans), so sometimes they fall somewhere in between residential and commercial. Like on SPU’s website, Multi Family Properties is a separate category.
        But glad you could fill your snark quota today. Bless your heart!
