OKOLONA, Miss. (WTVA) -- Garbage services in several neighborhoods are now operational after last week's snow and ice prevented trucks from making their routes.
"Bad backed up," garbage truck-driver James Jones Jr. said about the current situation of garbage pick-up services.

There's currently much more garbage than normal for trucks to pick up along their routes. People have the previous week's garbage in addition to this week's.
