Chesapeake residents in the Western Branch and portions of Deep Creek have been advised to delay their trash pickup due to forecasted high winds. The City of Chesapeake has issued a notice stating that residents scheduled for Wednesday trash collection should not place their trash bins or bulk trash items at the curb until tomorrow morning, January 10, by 7:00 a.m.

The decision to delay trash pickup is to ensure the safety of residents and prevent any potential damage caused by the strong winds. High winds can topple and damage bins, as well as scatter loose items, posing a danger to both residents and the community.

"In light of the forecasted high winds, we are urging residents in the affected areas to secure their bins and bulk trash items safely this evening," said a spokesperson from the City of Chesapeake. "By delaying the trash pickup until tomorrow morning, we can minimize the risk of any accidents or damage."

It is important for residents to heed this advice and ensure that their bins and items are securely fastened to avoid any potential incidents. By taking these precautions, residents can play a role in maintaining the cleanliness and safety of their neighborhoods.

The City of Chesapeake has also emphasized that there are currently no changes to the Wednesday trash collection schedule, apart from the delay caused by the high winds. Residents in other areas of the city can proceed with their regular trash pickup as scheduled.

For further information or any concerns, residents can contact the City of Chesapeake at 757-382-2489. The city continues to monitor the weather conditions closely and will provide updates if there are any further changes to the trash collection schedule.

As always, the City of Chesapeake prioritizes the safety and well-being of its residents. By working together and taking necessary precautions, residents can help ensure a clean and secure environment for all.
