FLORENCE, SC – Due to temperatures remaining below freezing through Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, and the potential for icy road conditions, city offices will operate on a two-hour delay (10:30 am) on Thursday, January 23, 2025. Motorists are encouraged to use caution as road conditions may be hazardous. For current road conditions, visit 511sc.org.
Thursday’s sanitation collection routes will begin at 9:30 am. However, only residential garbage and recycling will be collected, as the Waste Management transfer station, responsible for transporting waste to the landfill for the City of Florence, will be closed on Thursday, January 23, 2025, leaving trucks at capacity until they can be emptied. We anticipate resuming normal operations on Friday, January 24th provided the transfer station is open and receiving waste.
In-person court proceedings for Florence Municipal Court are canceled for Thursday, January 23, 2025. Defendants with scheduled appearances will be notified by mail with their rescheduled court date.
Police, Fire, Public Works, and Utilities personnel will remain available to respond as needed. For Public Works or water/sewer inquiries, please call 843-665-3236. For non-emergency concerns, contact the Police Department at 843-665-3191. In case of emergency, dial 9-1-1.
