Winter Weather Impact to YARDY Collections
Cedar Rapids solid waste collection experienced some difficulty this morning as winter weather made collections difficult. Some YARDY’s were collected, but as the storm brought heavier snow, garbage and recycling needed to become the primary focus of our Solid Waste team. As a result, YARDY’s not collected on Friday, March 22 have been postponed until Monday, Mar. 25, 2024. All other garbage, recycling, and YARDY collection routes remain unchanged.Date:03/22/2024
