Due to the current winter weather and the forecast of snow overnight and early Monday in Paducah, the Public Works Department is postponing Monday’s collection of curbside recycling and commercial solid waste. Crews will attempt to collect solid waste for high volume customers which include many restaurants. Depending upon the condition of the roadways, crews will work to complete these collections on Tuesday along with the regular Tuesday collections.
As a reminder, for your safety and to allow Public Works crews and emergency personnel to efficiently and safely perform their jobs, please avoid travelling today and early Monday. If you need to travel, please allow a significant amount of space between vehicles especially between salt/brine trucks and snow plows. Also, be prepared by travelling with extra blankets, water and food, and a charged cellphone along with sand or kitty litter to provide traction.
