I got an email from Jersey City OEM about the trash pickup suspension. You can sign up here for alerts http://www.cityofjerseycity.com/alerts/

seems like there should be a better way in the modern age to let citizens know of these things. 311 in NYC is good, but still relies on the user to call them which most people simply cant be bothered with.

They should have an option that the city allows people to register to online which will send an automatic text or email to each user to let them know when garbage pickup/alternate side parking, etc. are suspended.

Quote:

According to the messages on social media, the garbage will be picked up during the next regularly scheduled pickup day.

Apparently the message wasn't clear about no garbage pickup last night. I'd say 75% of my block put their can out. Trash everywhere. So does this mean garbage collection that was to take place last night will happen tonight or is it pushed to the next normal garbage night?

I'm still waiting for this storm to begin! Just some wind & rain all day, nothing bad!
