Union Street in Danny Thomas
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Snow and ice are still falling on the streets of Memphis as temperatures drop, prompting many offices to close due to the inclement weather.
Effective Monday, the Shelby County Clerk's offices will be closed, meaning tags, driver's license or business tax issues cannot be handled at this time.
You can also expect delays at Shelby County Health Department offices and clinics. They issued a statement saying:
“Due to the winter storm and adverse driving conditions, all Shelby County Health Department offices and clinics will be closed on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. All patients with appointments on Tuesday will be rescheduled.”
MATA announced it was suspending all routes due to dangerous travel conditions.
Kavaunjay Brayden, a Memphis resident, also plans to stay home and stay warm during the freezing temperatures.
“It's cold, this is ridiculously cold. You have no reason to come here, don't come here,” Brayden said.
As for your garbage, it can stay on the street longer than usual.
Memphis Solid Waste Collections says customers will experience delays. They issued the following statement,
“We ask for patience as all customers may experience a delay in trash and/or recycling pickup through January 27 while services are restored. Customers experiencing delays are asked to leave their trash and recycling carts at the curb until they are collected.
“It doesn't bother me,” Brayden said. “I mean at the same time they need to be safe and warm as well.”
Memphis isn't the only trash company delaying trash pickup. Other areas like Collierville, Millington, and Olive Branch all do the same.
