Naperville crews are currently salting the roads after spending Friday night plowing the streets and cul-de-sacs. Groot adds a special Saturday garbage collection.
The salt will help with any additional snow and is in preparation for more accumulation on Saturday night. Additional city crews are standing by as wintry conditions continue.
Local streets still remain snowy and slushy. Salt, traffic, and daylight will help clear some of the slush, caution is advised as you travel this weekend. Drivers should reduce speed and extend their following distance between cars.
Special Saturday garbage collection
For those residents with Friday garbage collection, Groot will collect garbage today only (January 13) for residents impacted. Recycling will be picked up next week during the regular schedule.
Temperatures are forecasted to fall into bitter cold throughout the day and continue into next week.
