When Will Mail, Trash and Recycling Collection Resume in North Texas?

Services were delayed in many cities across North Texas as severe winter weather swept across the state.

Three USPS plants in Dallas and Coppell were suspended or redirected because of the weather and power outages, but had resumed normal operations by Thursday, according to a USPS spokeswoman.

In many cities hit by snow and icy conditions, garbage and recycling collection has been delayed. Some cities are preparing to resume those services while others have not finalized plans to start collections again.
