UPDATE: The City of Wilkes-Barre has just announced a critical advisory for residents in the South Wilkes-Barre 2, East End, Parsons, and Miners Mills neighborhoods regarding recycling collection. Due to severe weather conditions expected on December 26, and a surge in post-holiday recycling, residents should prepare for potential delays.
