Monday's After-Blizzard Five: School's Out, Trash Pickup Delay Diner, Porketa

We've survived the Blizzard of 2013 - time for a few things to know:

 

School's out - School is canceled today and tomorrow for Woonsocket Public Schools. It's also canceled for today for Mount St. Charles. Keep apprised of all the latest news at our Storm Center page, bundle up, and stay safe.

Trash Pickup Delay -  Due to the conditions of some of the roadways and sidewalks in the city, trash and recycling collection has been canceled for Monday.  Collection will be delayed by one day for the week.  For the residents within the Friday District that did not have their recycling collected from last week, they can place the recycle cart out for collection Tuesday.
