This service cancellation tomorrow will have the following impacts:
- Monday customers will be serviced next week – Monday Jan. 3
- Tuesday customers will be serviced Wednesday, if conditions allow
- Wednesday and Thursday customers will be collected this Thurs and Friday, if conditions allow
- Friday customers will need to be delayed to next Friday, Jan. 7, due to the January 1 holiday which falls on Saturday
