The Geneva Park District will remain closed for the entire day on Thurs. Jan. 31, while the Batavia Park District reopened at 1 p.m., and programs at the St. Charles Park District resumed this afternoon.

Lakeshore Recycling Systems will be suspending recycling collection this week and delaying garbage pickup in Geneva, officials announced in a news release.

Garbage pickup will still take place one day later than normal on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 1 and Feb. 2.

Geneva residents are encouraged not to put their recycling carts outside and should wait for the following week's standard service day.

Residents who put recycling carts at the curb on Feb. 1 and Feb. 2 will notice those carts being dumped, along with their waste, into a garbage truck.

The company stated the decision was a last-resort measure that was made based on the safety and welfare of its drivers.

Lakeshore notified the city about the suspended recycling collection Jan. 31, the release stated.

Both garbage and recycling will be picked up on the normal Thursday and Friday schedule the week of Feb. 4.

As temperatures are somewhat less brutal today- 3 below zero with a windchill of 25 below zero – one to two inches of snow are expected, from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m., according to the National Weather Service Romeoville office.

Motorists should plan for slippery road conditions for the evening commute, according to the National Weather Service advisory for winter weather.

On Friday, the low temperature will be -2 degrees with a windchill of -44 degrees, but only in the morning, meteorologist Charles Mott said.

Friday's high will be 20 degrees with a reduced windchill of -3 degrees, according to the National Weather Service's advisory for winter weather.

Saturday is another story, with a strong chance of freezing drizzle, Mott said.

"The ground will not be warm enough, so as the rain hits the ground, it will freeze," he said.
