After canceling residential recycling pickup for Tuesday and Wednesday, the City of Lawrence has suspended the service through Sunday, Jan. 21.
Extreme weather conditions continue to cause problems for the city’s solid waste equipment and vehicles, according to a news release from the city on Wednesday.
The city plans to resume residential recycling routes on their normal schedule starting Monday, Jan. 22, according to the release.
That means households whose recycling should have been picked up this week will resume service the week beginning Monday, Jan. 29.
“We understand that missed recycling services create inconveniences for residents. To help residents save the most space in their blue recycling carts, our solid waste team recommends cutting and flattening any cardboard boxes, cereal boxes, or light packaging,” the release stated. “We appreciate your understanding as we utilize working and functional equipment to prioritize the uninterrupted service of residential trash pick-up.”
The city encourages people to sign up for service reminders and updates via this website.
