Richmond residents, be aware: trash collection services have been canceled for Monday, January 26th, due to inclement weather. It’s a frustrating start to the week, but the city’s Department of Public Works (DPW) made the call to ensure the safety of collection crews.

The DPW announced the cancellation Sunday evening, citing hazardous conditions. They haven’t specified exactly what those conditions are, but residents shoudl anticipate icy roads and perhaps dangerous work environments.
