LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Feb. 17, 2015) -- Due to the Washington's Birthday Holiday and inclement weather experienced early this week, the City of Little Rock's trash and recycling collection schedule will run on a delayed schedule.

Trash Collection
Monday and Tuesday trash collection routes will run two days behind. Wednesday through Friday routes will run at least one day behind. Collection will start on Wednesday for Monday's route. Little Rock Public Works expects to collect all routes by end of day Saturday and to be back to normal collection schedule starting next week. Any streets with hazardous driving conditions will be rescheduled for service.

Recycling Collection
Tuesday through Friday recycling routes will run one day late, starting Wednesday. Waste Management will attempt to collect all of Monday's recycling route throughout the week. The company will also offer its recycling center for drop offs to any resident on Monday's route who is not serviced this week. The facility is located at 7900 Sloane Drive and it will open to the public Wednesday through Friday of this week from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Yard Waste Collection
Yard waste collection will be delayed until next week in an effort to get trash collection back on schedule.

Crews continue to work in 12-hour rotating shifts to clear all streets in the city. Little Rock Public Works thanks residents for their patience as it resumes trash and collection services after this week's winter weather event.
