Winter Weather Route Updates

Update 1/22/2025

ATTENTION CUSTOMERS OF CES!
NO SERVICE ON THURSDAY JANAURY 23rd!!
After gathering information and due to the dangerous road conditions that are expected in across many areas that we serve, we have made the decision NOT to run any routes on Thursday January 23rd. Our office will also be closed. We made this decision for several different reasons:
1) The road conditions have been very dangerous today. There has been a lot of ice on the roads. The temperature has remained above freezing for the past several hours which has helped in “thawing” some of the ice and snow. However, the temperature is forecasted to be below freezing by 6pm tonight and remain below freezing until roughly 9am tomorrow morning. This means that the majority of the roads will still be too dangerous to drive on.
2) We have drivers/hoppers that come from many different areas. With the roads expected to be frozen until roughly 9am, we can’t put our team members at risk driving to our facility. Their Safety is our #1 priority. We also can’t put them in a risky situation with our trucks on routes.
3) Even if there was a way that we could run tomorrow, the landfill is closed. This means we would not be able to dump the garbage once collected.
Please see the adjusted schedules below!

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work our way through this unprecedented weather event. This is something our area has not experienced in a very long time. The Safety of our Team Members is our Top Priority. We appreciate your support for our TEAM members, especially for their Safety. Our office will be closed on Thursday.

Update 1/20/2025

WEATHER ALERT!!!
NO GARBAGE COLLECTION ON TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY!
Good morning!
We are adjusting our collection schedules for the remainder of this week due to the unprecedented snowstorm that is expected to hit our area on Tuesday, as well as the lingering impacts that will possibly affect our area through Thursday morning. Our major concern is the safety of our Team Members. We will not put them in harm’s way! The road conditions will not be favorable for them to get to the facility on Tuesday or Wednesday. These conditions are also not favorable for them to be on the road in our trucks. There is still some uncertainty as to the amount of sleet and snow that we will receive in the areas that we service. The snow is currently expected to start early on Tuesday morning and end somewhere around 6pm on Tuesday evening. However, the temperature is forecasted to remain below freezing until noon on Wednesday. It will barely stay above freezing for about 4 hours on Wednesday and then drop below freezing until mid-morning on Thursday morning. Therefore, we are announcing that we will NOT service any areas on Tuesday and Wednesday. We are planning to be able to run on Thursday, but we may get off to a late start depending on the road conditions on Thursday morning.
We are having to move around our assets to make sure that we can service everyone at least 1x this week. Those customers that are normally serviced 2x per week on Monday and Thursday, will only be serviced today. Those customers that are normally serviced 2x per week on Tuesday and Friday, will only be serviced on Friday.
Please see the adjusted schedules below!
THURSDAY JANUARY 23RD, 2025
The following areas will be serviced on Thursday:
The City of Diamondhead route normally run 1x per week on Tuesday and Wednesday
All 1x per week routes that are normally run on Wednesday will be run on Thursday
All 1x per week routes that are normally run on Thursday will be run on Thursday.
We are planning on completing these routes on Thursday, but it will depend on what time we are able to start on Thursday morning. If we do start late and are not able to complete everything by Thursday evening, we will get everything completed first thing Friday morning before we start on the Friday schedule.
FRIDAY JANUARY 24th, 2025
The following areas will be serviced on Friday:
All customers that are normally serviced 2x per week on Tuesday and Friday
City of Diamondhead that is normally serviced 1x per week on Thursday and Friday
All customers that are normally serviced 1x per week on Friday
We are planning on completing these routes on Friday. However, if we must complete the Thursday schedule on Friday morning, we may not get the Friday schedule completed. If we are not able to complete everything by Friday evening, we will get everything completed first thing Saturday morning.
SATURDAY JANUARY 25th, 2025
All customers in Bayside Park that are normally serviced 1x per week on Wednesday
REMINDERS:
CARTS – please have your cart(s) to the curb the night prior or by 4am on the day that we will be in your area.
GREEN WASTE/BULKY WASTE – for those areas that have green waste and bulky waste included with their service, the sleet and snow will probably cause some branches to break. Please make sure to put the branches in a separate pile at the curb. If green waste is put in the cart, the lid must not be open more than 6 inches. Do not overstuff the cart with the green waste or the cart will be left down.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work our way through this unprecedented weather event. This is something our area has not experienced in a very long time. I don’t think anyone is quite sure of the extent of how the sleet, snow, and freezing temperatures will affect our area. There could be power outages and dangerous road conditions that last several days which makes scheduling that more challenging. We appreciate your support for our TEAM members, especially for their Safety. Our office will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will reopen on Thursday morning. Please continue to monitor our website and social medial pages for further updates.
