Due to the heavy snow, the city of Ann Arbor, Recycle Ann Arbor and Waste Management have suspended trash and recycling services for Monday.

Although plows have been operating for the last 24 hours, the amount of snow received, coupled with the drifting, would make cart and Dumpster service very difficult, if not impossible, in some areas, city officials said.

In addition, diverting city solid waste crews to snow plowing will help speed up the response efforts to the storm, city officials said.

Trash and recycling pickup will be delayed one day, with Monday's route being serviced on Tuesday, and so on. Saturday service is scheduled for Friday's routes.
