Trash Pick-Up is 1 to 2 Days Behind in Strongsville

A strike by Republic Waste workers has delayed trash pickup in Strongsville by one to two days this week.

City officials are asking residents to put their rubbish at the curb at least one day after their regular pickup day this week.

Also, residents should set out only trash -- not recyclables. Officials are asking residents to hold onto their recyclables till next week.

Employees at Republic's facilities in Cleveland and Elyria stopped working Monday in support of striking Teamsters at the company's landfill in Youngstown.

In many Cleveland-area suburbs, garbage collection is at least one day behind as Republic scrambles to find workers to drive the trucks.
