Hey Dentonites! It's still looking like a winter wonderland out there, but we are slowly warming up!

🏛️To ensure the safety of our community and staff throughout travel, City of Denton offices and facilities will have a delayed opening tomorrow, Thursday, Jan. 29, starting at 10:00 a.m.

♻️Residential recycling services are suspended for this week. Residential trash collections will resume tomorrow, January 29, starting with Tuesday routes. Our staff will collect from households that have places their trash carts at the curb, provided our trucks can safely access the street. For the rest of this week, if your regular collection day is...

--Tuesday, it moves to Thursday (January 29).

--Wednesday or Thursday, it moves to Friday (January 30).

Please continue to leave your carts at the curb until they are collected.

🚗While road conditions are steadily improving, lingering ice and overnight freezing continue to pose a risk for early morning travel. As ice continues to that and refreeze over the next few days, please make sure to stay vigilant and cautious on the roads.

As we start to wrap-up our daily winter weather updates, don't forget you can always visit www.cityofdenton.com/winterweather for any remaining impacts!
