Waste Management: Let’s give a cheer for the snow! However, we regret to inform you that due to the heavy snowfall, our garbage trucks are unable to operate as they’re snowed in. Many of the roads are still unplowed and are becoming increasingly hazardous despite Public Works efforts to clear them. Safety is our top priority, and we can’t risk our drivers’ well-being in these dangerous conditions. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your patience while we work to resolve the situation. In the meantime, please stay indoors if possible and keep warm. It’s also important to make sure that your trash cart lids are securely closed to prevent any exposure to snow or rain. We’ll keep you informed of any updates as soon as they become available. Please ensure that you’ve signed up to receive notifications through your preferred method at www.wm.com Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to resume our services as soon as the weather permits.
