Melrose Storm: Outages, Trash Schedules, More

MELROSE, MA — School never really stood a chance, but Melrose finally called it - in some cases long after surrounding cities. The rest of the City is a bit more touch-and-go.

According to a Thursday morning update from the City:

• The Council on Aging is closed.
• The Melrose Public Library and City Hall are open, but power issues are affecting phone lines and computers. Call the City Yard Storm Center at 781-665-0142 with any problems or questions.
• Trash and recycling pickup will be delayed by one day: Today’s trash will be picked up tomorrow, and Friday’s will be picked up on Saturday.
• Some traffic signals around town are out as more than 400 households across the city remain without power. The Police Station has had power restored.
• Remember that Patch (and your local soon-to-be snowbound reporter) will have updates on things like school closings, power outages, and more - as well as some interesting local stories. Subscribe here for free updates, and email me at [email protected] with any questions, photos, or stories!
