San Angelo residents, brace yourselves for a trash-related disruption! Due to icy roads, the city has made a bold move to prioritize safety.
In a recent announcement, San Angelo has decided to temporarily halt trash collection services on Monday, January 26th, as icy road conditions pose a significant challenge. This decision comes as a necessary precaution to ensure the well-being of both residents and sanitation workers. But here's the catch: the landfill will also be closed on the same day, adding a layer of complexity to waste management.
The city has devised a strategic plan to resume operations safely. On Tuesday, January 27th, trash collection will restart, albeit with a delayed start, covering the routes originally planned for Monday. To make up for the lost day, the collection schedule for the rest of the week will be adjusted accordingly, with each day's routes shifted back by one day. Even Saturday will see crews hard at work to get back on schedule.
Here's the revised plan:
- Tuesday: Cover Monday's routes
- Wednesday: Tuesday's routes
- Thursday: Wednesday's routes
- Friday: Thursday's routes
- Saturday: Friday's routes
This decision is part of a broader response to hazardous travel conditions, which have affected roads, overpasses, and bridges across the city. The city offices will also remain closed on Monday, ensuring the safety of commuters and staff. But don't worry, the offices will reopen promptly at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, ready to serve the community.
