Due to the blizzard, all garbage and recycling collection for Wednesday, March 15 is suspended. We will post an update as to when collection will resume once the storm situation stabilizes.
Due to the impending snowstorm, the mayor has declared a state of emergency. (see full copy of Declaration by clicking here)
Due to the impending winter storm, the Pittston City Streets & Sanitation Department announces all garbage & recycling collection scheduled for Tuesday March 14th is cancelled. Weather permitting, the garbage and recycling scheduled for Tuesday collection will be collected Wednesday. Further updates on changes to the collection schedule will be given after the storm.
Additionally, to the extent possible, the Street Department requests that if you can move your parked vehicles off the street, please do so to facilitate plowing. Additionally, residents are advised to not travel during the storm or immediately after unless it is absolutely necessary. Please stay clear of all working snowplows & other snow removal equipment. The Pittston City Street Department thanks you for your cooperation! Stay safe!
Motorists and residents are advised of ongoing roadwork on South Main Street at East Frothingham. This is a city project to replace drains in the street along South Main Street to eliminate the long existing problem with ponding in the roadway near Underwood Lane during heavy rain. Please use caution when traveling through this area during the construction. Thank you.
