Trash and Recycling Collection Information

Relating To Snowstorm

WOONSOCKET, RI: Due to the impending storm, there will be NO trash or recycling collection on Thursday January 4, 2018.

The collection schedule will be as follows:

Wednesday’s route will be picked up on Friday

Thursday’s and Friday’s route will be picked up on Saturday

We ask that all collection carts (City serviced and privately serviced) be brought back into the property and placed back out on the appropriate collection day. There should be no carts out on the streets or sidewalks on Wednesday or Thursday.

To assist us in assisting you:

-Please shovel an area in front of your house in order to place the trash and recycling carts in a manner in which the collection trucks may be able to successfully empty the waste.

-Please place the carts 3’ apart from one another.

-Please place the carts 3’ away from telephone poles and fire hydrants.

-Please keep the covers to the carts closed to prevent snow from filling the carts. The snow adds to the weight of the waste, therefore adding to the disposal cost.

Please be patient as we attempt to collect all waste within a timely matter.

Questions can be directed to the Solid Waste Division at (401) 767-8880.

Opening statements are expected Monday in former President Trump's criminal trial in New York. The six alternate jurors have been seated and the 12 jurors are already in place. The former President is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments allegedly made to an adult film star just prior to the 2016 election.       New York police say the man who set himself on fire outside the Donal Trump trial drove from Florida to New York City earlier this week. The man had some papers with him that detailed conspiracy theories involving local politics. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.       President Biden is taking jabs at Donald Trump while rallying union workers in Washington, D.C. Biden delivered remarks at an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers conference on Friday, where he said some people, including Trump, "learned the best way to get rich is inherit it." He also said those people " learn that paying taxes is for working people, not the super wealthy."        The House is expected to vote for final passage of House Speaker Mike Johnson's foreign aid package over the weekend. The House approved a rule vote today to begin debate on individual bills to provide military aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. In an unusual move, Democrats voted with Republicans to advance the legislation as many conservatives voted no.        The FAA and United Airlines are investigating a video that appears to show a Colorado Rockies staff member in the cockpit during a flight. The incident happened during the team's April 10th chartered flight from Denver to Toronto. In the video posted on social media that has since been deleted, an unauthorized person appears to sit in the pilot's seat. United Airlines says at least two pilots have been removed from the job.       Horror film "Abigail" is looking to take the top spot at this weekend's box office. It's expected to make between 12-million and 15-million-dollars in its first weekend. "Abigail" is expected to just beat out last week's winner "Civil War" for first place.
