Will trash be picked up Monday in Philadelphia? Here's what to know as snowstorm hits region.
Trash and recycling collections in Philadelphia will be suspended for two days this week because of the major snowstorm hitting the region.
Due to the storm, sanitation crews and equipment will be diverted to snow operations.
For this week, Monday collections will be picked up Wednesday, and Tuesday's collections will be picked up Thursday. Collections for the rest of the week will continue in the same sequence, with trash picked up two days behind the regular schedule.
The city says there will also be no collection in rear driveways, and the collection schedule could change depending on the storm.
Second-day trash collection is suspended this week, according to the city.
This storm could drop 8-14 inches of snow overnight Sunday into Monday morning. The city is under a snow emergency and a disaster emergency because of the storm. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro issued a disaster emergency declaration for the state as well.
How much snow are we going to get?
The Lehigh Valley, Berks Chester and upper Montgomery counties are looking at about 6-10 inches of snow.
In Philadelphia, along the I-95 corridor, and in New Jersey and Delaware, at least 8-14 inches of snow could fall. Those totals are expected to be even higher closer to the coast, possibly up to 14-22 inches.
NEXT big weather changes
The snowstorm will begin to pull away rapidly between 10 a.m. and noon Monday. Scattered snow showers and high winds will taper by Monday evening.
Temps will head to the 20s Monday night and stay near freezing Tuesday. They will stay below freezing Tuesday night, so all the snow and water will turn into ice.
Then, temps will rise to the 40s and 50s Wednesday through Friday. There will be a chance of rain Thursday and Friday. Next weekend in the Delaware Valley looks sunny and mild in the low 50s.
