The City of Little Rock announced on Wednesday that Thursday solid waste collection would be delayed a day as crews are diverted to prepare for expected severe winter weather.

Jon Honeywell, the City’s Public Works Director, said some crews would be treating bridges, overpasses and some steep streets and that some crews would start working snow routes at 7:30 p.m. and work overnight Wednesday. Crews are expected to work Friday and Saturday, Honeywell said.

Residents are also reminded that Monday, Feb. 15 is George Washington’s Birthday Holiday and Daisy Gatson Bates Day so Monday routes will also be delayed one day as the city is closed in observance of the holiday.
