“Republic Services, please come pick up this trash. I don’t care about what y’all got going on, between my dad, kids, and myself —everything is backed up over here.

Bellevue sets up temporary waste drop-off at Bannerwood Park due to ongoing labor dispute with Republic Services, offering relief for residents during work stoppage.

A free garbage drop-off location in Bellevue provided some relief for customers who haven't had their trash collected for days as a labor dispute drags on.

LACEY, Wash. — Waste management workers in Washington state joined a multi-state strike against Republic Services, one of the country's largest sanitation companies, disrupting garbage collection across multiple cities including Lynnwood, Bellevue, and Kent.

State leaders urge Republic Services to finalize contract with striking Teamsters as uncollected garbage piles up in Massachusetts communities and other states across the country.

Republic Services and the Teamsters have been at a standoff since July 1, when 450 local workers went on strike after the union's contract expired. Teamsters are seeking better wages, benefits and stronger labor protections.
