Blizzard Brings Trash, Tax Delays in North Kingstown

North Kingstown residents digging out from the blizzard Wednesday should save a little extra strength to carve out space for the trash and recycling bins — the town is hoping to get caught up with extra pickups over the weekend.

Here’s the plan:

Residents who normally have their trash picked up on Tuesdays should be prepared to have their trash and recycling collected on Thursday.

Wednesday customers will be collected on Friday. There might be some missed customers on this day, but they will be completed on Saturday.

Thursday customers will be collected on Friday and anyone missed will be picked up on Saturday.

Friday customers will be picked up over the weekend.

Waste Haulers will not return to collect a missed pickup. And the transfer station on Devils Foot Road is open for disposal of recyclables at 345 Devils Foot Road.

Meanwhile, the town has pushed the due date for tax payments back by a week. The original Jan. 31 deadline is now Feb. 6.

Residents are also asked to help the Fire and Water Departments by shoveling out nearby hydrants.

The Town Council meeting scheduled for earlier this week is now set for Feb. 2 at the North Kingstown High School Auditorium.

Probate Court on Wednesday has been rescheduled to Feb. 4.

Town Hall remains closed Wednesday and should be back to normal operations on Thursday.
