The City of Lawrence has had to cancel commercial solid waste collection and residential recycling service for Tuesday because of equipment issues related to winter weather.
“Current winter weather conditions have caused equipment issues for the City of Lawrence and the landfill. Both services need to be operational for successful solid waste collection,” according to a news release Monday afternoon.
Solid waste services this week were already delayed by one day for the holiday Monday.
“Residential trash service will continue on the holiday service schedule, and commercial services will resume at the next regularly scheduled pick up,” according to the release. “Any changes to this schedule or service will be communicated as soon as possible.”
The city intends to resume the canceled routes on Wednesday, but dangerously low temperatures could lead to additional impacts later in the week, according to the release.
