The City of St. Peters has announced a postponement in its curbside waste collection services for today, Jan. 26, with operations beginning later than usual due to the recent winter storm. The city's trash, recycling, and yard waste collection services are otherwise expected to resume their regular schedule later in the week, according to the City of St. Peters announcement. Customers who had signed up for the Bulky Item Waste Collection service today will also face delays but will receive email notifications detailing the changes.
Efforts to manage the aftermath of the storm are ongoing, with the City's Snow and Ice Removal Team working continuously to clear the roads. Residents are urged to move vehicles to their driveways or garage to aid in the efficiency and safety of these operations. Additionally, St. Peters has stressed the importance of keeping waste carts behind the street curb line on collection day to prevent any potential obstruction, reports the City of St. Peters official notice.
The rigors of this storm have also prompted closures and cancellations to ensure public safety. The St. Peters Rec-Plex, Rec-Plex South, the St. Peters Golf Club, and Water’s Edge Banquet Center were closed yesterday, Jan. 25, while walk-in trash disposal at Recycle City is unavailable today due to landfill closure. For those seeking updates on the changing conditions, the city advises the public to download the StPetersMO app, check out SPTVnow.net for live traffic and weather feeds, or use the St. Peters Snow Line to report any weather-related concerns.
Residents are reminded to exercise caution when venturing out onto the roads since extreme cold can diminish the effectiveness of ice-melting materials and slick conditions may persist. The city fervently, asks to avoid any unnecessary travel due to the hazardous weather. In addition to these precautions, the public is warned against leaving pets outside for extended periods in these potentially life-threatening temperatures, the City of St. Peters announcement states.
