Philly Trash And Recycling Collections Resuming Wednesday
Residents whose collections normally occur on Monday and Tuesday are directed to hold their materials until next week, officials said.
PHILADELPHIA — Trash and recycling collections are set to resume Wednesday in Philadelphia, officials said Tuesday.
Due to the winter storm, collections for Monday and Tuesday were canceled. This allowed sanitation crews to assist with snow removal efforts.
Residents whose collections occur Monday and Tuesday should hold their materials for collection on Monday and Tuesday next week. However, residents can take their materials to one of the city's Sanitation Convenience Centers, which opened for normal operations Tuesday. The centers are open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
