DENTON's Memorial Day Holiday was far from a peaceful tribute, as savage storms tore through the city, wreaking havoc and derailing the best-laid plans of locals for both celebration and sanitation. In a memo released to the masses, the City of Denton declared the Solid Waste & Recycling Services to be in a state of disarray, with yard waste and bulk service pickups facing delays that are sure to last throughout the week. But don't get it twisted—household trash and recycling aren't about to be left to rot in the Texas heat; these collections will proceed on schedule, according to the City of Denton, Texas.
As they scramble to get back on track, the city's Solid Waste & Recycling Department has been forced to swiftly conjure up "Operation Push"—a strategy designed to quickly muscle through the mountains of debris now lining the streets. Offering a slight reprieve, crews will assuredly not overextend themselves, preventing that Texas sun from breaking their spirit or their back, officials said. As the push continues, items left on the curb will remain there until the city's collection teams can swoop in. Saturday work has now been slotted into the usual Monday-to-Friday grind, all to ensure that the initial pass of removal wraps up no later than June 1, according to the City of Denton, Texas.
