Residents of Charlotte grappling with wintry disruptions can expect some delays in city services as they wade through the aftermath of a recent storm. According to a social media post from City of Charlotte Government, Solid Waste Services collections will be conducted when it is deemed safe for crews to traverse the streets throughout the week. As a precaution, the city urges residents to place their carts at the curb by 6 a.m. on their normal collection day and to leave them out until collected.
Despite lingering icy conditions, city crews may extend collections into the next day to ensure safe service. With conditions improving, the Grady Cole Recreation Center, which had served as a winter storm shelter, closed yesterday at 11 a.m.
Winter weather has affected public transport, with the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) starting limited service at 10 a.m. All transit services will end by midnight, with the last Blue Line train departing UNC Charlotte and I-485 stations at that time. Final bus routes from the CTC will also conclude at midnight.
The City of Charlotte maintains a timeline of storm updates at its Winter Weather Storm Response Info Center, allowing residents to stay informed and safe.
