City Of Irving: City Resumes Services After Inclement Weather

Press release from the City of Irving:

February 25, 2022

City of Irving services and facilities are open for regular business, including libraries, recreation centers and City Hall.

Solid Waste Services resumes trash, recycling, and brush/bulky collections Friday, Feb. 25.  Additionally, the Hunter Ferrell Landfill will reopen.

Residents may experience delays in trash, recycling and brush and bulky collections. Collection service is prioritized by trash, recycling and then brush and bulky pickup. Crews will work longer hours to ensure trash is collected, and recycling crews will work on Wednesdays and Saturdays as needed to catch-up on collections. The city asks for patience as crews work to catch up from the inclement weather.

Cold Weather Tips 

• Outside water service: Turn off sprinklers, disconnect and drain hoses and cover outdoor faucets and exposed pipes. 
• Pets: If possible, bring inside for the duration of the event. Provide warm shelters if unable to bring pets indoors. 
• Indoor plumbing: Drip faucets for any plumbing adjacent to an outside wall to keep pipes from freezing. Open cabinet doors to improve air flow to pipes. 
• Power: Expect and prepare for electricity outages. Contact Oncor to report power outages.

During an inclement weather event, general updates on city operations will be available at CityofIrving.org, on the city’s Twitter feed (twitter.com/thecityofirving) and Facebook page (facebook.com/thecityofirving).
