"The Department of Public Utilities continues to work to return residential trash collection to its normal schedule, as road clearing and melting continue to improve driving conditions on neighborhood streets," the county said in a news release.

Wednesday, crews will be collecting trash at homes that are usually serviced on Wednesdays. Thursday and Friday, crews will collect on routes that typically occur on Thursdays and Fridays.

Routes that could not be collected due to icy conditions are expected to be serviced through the weekend.
