The streets aren't that bad, why did they skip my trash due to inclement weather?

For the safety of all involved, the sanitation crew will only pickup in areas with streets that are safe to travel. A garbage truck even when empty weighs 27,000 lbs, and the visibility is more limited than in a regular vehicle. If a truck were to hit an unseen patch of ice or snow, it could be very hard to control or stop the massive vehicle. Rest assured that our crew will return for you trash as quickly as is safe.
