What about trash - is that delayed a day as well?

I'm wondering that myself. Two years ago, I reported that due to an on-going blizzard that trash pickup would be delayed a day after a source in Town Hall said that was the case. The DPW called me within a hour to inform me that trash pickup "almost" never gets cancelled and sure enough, trucks were picking up street side barrels during gale force winds and driving snow. I have sent a message and will give you the answer the moment I find out.

You can expect the trucks rumbling down your street today if you are on the Monday pick-up schedule.
