HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - The City of Huntsville is temporarily suspending curbside garbage pickup because of the extreme cold.

City officials announced Monday afternoon that sub-freezing temperatures are causing equipment failures on garbage trucks, making it impossible for some crews to complete their routes. With arctic conditions expected to stick around for at least another 24 hours, the city has decided to cancel Tuesday trash pickup as well.

Here's the revised schedule for the rest of this week:

Monday trash pickup will be moved to Wednesday

Tuesday trash pickup will be moved to Thursday

Wednesday trash pickup will be moved to Friday

Thursday trash pickup will be moved to Saturday

Residents scheduled for Wednesday pickup should make sure their garbage can is not frozen shut before rolling it to the curb.

For more information, call the Huntsville Sanitation Department at 883-3965.

Madison County says its garbage collection schedule -- which covers the cities of Madison and Triana, in addition to unincorporated areas -- will not change because of the cold weather.
