Republic Services Announces No Residential Recycling, Bagged Leaves or Bulk Trash Collection on Jan. 9 Due to Severe Winter Weather
Due to the severe winter weather forecast and expected icy road conditions, Republic Services has announced it will only collect residential, commercial, and industrial garbage carts and containers in Arlington on Thursday, Jan. 9. This change in service is designed to allow drivers to safely finish their routes earlier in the day before street conditions are expected to deteriorate.
Residential recycling and bulk garbage will not occur on Thursday, Jan. 9. This means Arlington residents who typically see recycling and bulk pick up on Thursdays do not need to place recycling carts, bagged leaves, or bulk items on the curb for collection until their next scheduled collection date, which is Thursday, Jan. 16.
Republic Services has not yet announced any decisions regarding garbage and recycling collection in Arlington for Friday, Jan. 10. For the latest updates on weather-related impacts to City services, please follow the City of Arlington’s social media accounts or visit www.arlingtontx.gov/winter.
