Numerous area communities had their trash service postponed due to last week’s bitter cold. Many of them learned their rescheduled pickup dates Tuesday.
Residents in Hartford, Lebo, Lyndon, Melvern, Neosho Rapids, New Strawn and Waverly will have their trash picked up no later than Friday.
Service originally set for Dec. 23 was postponed with air temperatures struggling to reach zero and wind chills at or below -15 for much of the daylight hours.
Emporia’s schedule adjustments were holiday-related, not weather-related. Service returned to normal operations Tuesday after residential and commercial trash, recycling, cardboard and roll-off pickups were postponed from Monday to Wednesday in observance of the Christmas holiday.
