Winter storm trash and recycling pickup schedule update
WOONSOCKET, RI: The Department of Solid Waste has announced that there will be no trash or recycling collection tomorrow, Thursday, February 9, due to the forecast for significant snow accumulation. Instead, Thursday and Friday pickup days will we pushed back one day. Trash and recycling collection for those residents who are affected will occur on the following schedule:
- Thursday’s route will be picked up on Friday, February 10.
- Friday’s route will be picked up on Saturday, February 11.
Residents are advised to follow the following instructions to help assist in the trash and recycling disposal process:
- Please bring collection carts back onto your property and not leave carts on the sidewalk during the snowstorm.
- Please shovel the sidewalk or area in front of your house to place collection carts once trash and recycling pickup resumes.
- Please position collection carts 3 feet apart from one another and 3 feet away from telephone poles or fire hydrants.
- Please keep collection cart covers closed to prevent snow from accumulating inside – extra weight from the snow accumulation adds to the weight of the waste, which adds to disposal costs.
Please contact the Woonsocket Department of Solid Waste with any further questions or concerns at (401) 767-8880.
