Story highlights Trouble piles up in city still struggling with water issues

Flint city leaders have yet to secure a new waste collection contract for the city

(CNN) Flint, Michigan, a city known for its water crisis, may have another noxious situation on its hands.

There will be no trash collection in the city until further notice, according to a statement from Flint Mayor Karen Weaver. City residents have been instructed to not put their garbage out on the curb for collection, because no one will pick it up, at least for now.

Flint city leaders, including Weaver and the Flint City Council, have yet to secure a new waste collection contract for the city. Their previous service agreement, with a company called Republic Services, has expired.

"Due to the circumstances, there will be no trash pickup in the city starting this Monday," the statement read. "Until a new agreement is officially in place, we ask that residents not set their trash out at the curb."

Weaver hopes to resolve the issue by sometime this week, according to her statement.
