📢 Service Delay Notice: Johns Disposal Service Delay!
Due to the severe winter storm that impacted our area, @johns_disposal was unable to operate collection routes on March 16th in order to prioritize the safety of drivers and the community. As a result, their routes will be delayed by one day the rest of the week. This means Whitewater's collection route on Thursday will now be moved to Friday!
📌This schedule adjustment will help ensure safe operations while still completing all collections within the week. Residents are encouraged to leave carts at the curb until collection occurs.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work through and recover from the impacts of this storm.
