Wind chill advisory forced Columbia to cancel trash collection for today and Saturday

The National Weather Service’s (NWS) wind chill advisory has forced Columbia Solid Waste to cancel residential curbside trash collections today (Friday) and Saturday.

Columbia Solid Waste notes we’ll see wind chills between minus-10 and minus-20 both days, adding that extended exposure to these temperatures can be dangerous. Columbia Solid Waste has only been able to pick up trash two days this week.

Trash collection was canceled on Monday due to the federal and Missouri MLK Day holiday, and it was canceled Tuesday due to snow and subfreezing temperatures. It’s scheduled to resume as normal on Monday.
