Olathe residents may experience delays

Released 12/8/05As a result of the snow storm, some residents may experience delays in curbside collection. City crews will continue working despite the snow, but may not be able to complete routes as quickly as usual.

Any delay should be minimal and only impact a small number of customers. If a route is not completed on the scheduled day, crews will collect trash and recycling the following day.
Residents are asked to place trash and recycling containers by the curb as usual. They are asked to leave the containers at the curb until crews are able to remove the trash and recycling.
The city deeply regrets any inconvenience caused by potential delays. Crews will be working as hard as possible to collect all trash and recycling. If necessary, crews will be working on Saturday to get back on schedule.

City plow crews have been working non-stop since yesterday morning. All major streets have been plowed, and the majority of residential streets have received one pass. Nearly all residential streets should be plowed by the end of the day, and crews will continue working around the clock clearing the remainder of snow from streets.
