Republic Services Suspends Waste and Recycling Collections for Friday, Jan. 10

Republic Services has suspended all waste and recycling collections for Friday, ahead of another Winter Storm. Evansville is forecast to receive an additional 3-to-5 inches of snow starting tonight. Many side streets and alleys will continue to be too hazardous for Republic’s refuse vehicles to safely maneuver. In the interest of public safety, and the safety of Republic’s truck drivers, the company will not operate Friday.

Here’s what you need to know

• Regularly scheduled waste and recycling collections for City residential customers will resume next week.
• Extra waste and recyclable materials will be accepted. The materials must be contained in bags, and the bags must be placed next to the customer’s trash cart on their regularly scheduled collection day.
