UG to resume normal operations Thursday

The Unified Government will have public buildings open again, with normal operations resuming at 8 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 18, according to a UG announcement.

Buildings were previously closed with staff working remotely to help the region conserve energy during the extreme weather.


Although winter temperatures are expected to rise and return to normal ranges, Warming Centers will remain open during regular hours, according to a spokesman.

Community members with court dates should confirm when their hearings will be rescheduled.


Trash service has resumed. On Thursday, Feb. 18, Waste Management will finish any incomplete routes from Tuesday and Wednesday and begin regular Thursday collection.

If Thursday customers do not have their pickup, Waste Management asked that items are left outside for pickup on Friday. If necessary, Friday collections may continue through Saturday.

The Waste Management team is bringing in extra drivers, trucks, and staff to ensure service for all routes by this weekend, according to a UG spokesman. Recycling collection should be caught up by Thursday, Feb. 18. Service updates are being provided via Facebook and Nextdoor should weather conditions deteriorate and cause additional disruption.
