Garbage Service Delayed Due to Labor Dispute

There will be no garbage and recycling service today due to a continued labor dispute between Teamsters and Republic/Allied Waste, the City of Fremont announced this morning.

The City is advising residents to leave their containers out for collection and that they will be picked up as soon as service resumes. The trash and recycling will be collected "no later than your next service day," the city said in a statement.

This is the second service disruption this month.

Service was delayed April 4 and 5 because Allied Waste, the nation's second largest garbage company, were locked in a labor struggle with workers. Allied Waste workers held strikes at various Bay area facilities and have continued again today.
