Aggressive Cleanup Strategy Implemented
Public Works has shifted tactics to combat the heavy ice pack on residential streets. The city has deployed front-end loaders, backhoes, and motor graders, supported by emergency contractors, to physically break up the ice before plowing.
With this increase in machinery and manpower, residents should see a noticeable increase in clearing in the coming days. However, because crews are breaking up solid ice, they are working feet at a time rather than miles at a time. Progress is slow, but with more teams and better equipment in place, the city is moving forward steadily.
Trash and Recycling
- Monday and Tuesday Customers: Please hold your trash until your regularly scheduled pickup day next week. Refuse crews continue to assist with snow and ice removal.
Important Reminders
- Stay Informed: Sign up for Staunton Alert Message and city news updates. Updates will also be shared on the city’s website and the city’s social media pages.
- Keep snow out of the street: Do not shovel snow from sidewalks or driveways into the roadway. Businesses are reminded not to move snow from their parking lots onto the sidewalks.
