LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The City of Little Rock announced on Thursday that they'll resume collecting yard waste around the city.
According to the press release, it's expected that crews will work to pick up waste from their Wednesday routes and work throughout the week to return to a normal schedule.
The temporary closure happened on Wednesday, January 11, as the City of Little Rock Public Works Department announced that all yard waste collection would be suspended throughout the city.
The decision came due to a shortage of garbage trucks— with all available trucks being used to cover garbage routes.
The City’s Fleet Services Department came across some supply chain issues and is working to get additional trucks on the streets as soon as possible.
The City will update residents once normal yard waste pickup resumes and provide notice of when delayed routes will be covered.
