Trash collection and snow removal

The City of Philadelphia announced that trash and recycling collection will be suspended tomorrow in anticipation of the heavy snow tonight. Folks who have Wednesday pick-up should put their stuff out for Thursday pick-up. The rest of the week will be on a one-day delay. There will also be no rear driveway collection. If you normally place it in a rear driveway, place it on the curb instead.

Also, there’s the new shoveling law that requires clearing at least a 36-inch path on sidewalks within six hours of the end of the storm. Doubt anyone will be measuring, but just sayin’.

Schools

Philadelphia public schools are closed Wednesday. The School Reform Commission meeting scheduled for 2 p.m. has also been canceled. The Parent Infant Center is open.
