UPDATE: Trash Collection In Philadelphia Not Being Suspended
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The City of Philadelphia has reversed course and now says regular trash and recycling collection will take place today.
Residents who normally have trash picked up on Tuesday can place it outside for the Department of Sanitation to collect.
Initially, the city announced collection of trash and recyclables would be suspended to help with snow removal.
