Republic Services waste pickup resumes Monday in Edmonds, Lynnwood and Woodway

Republic Services will resume waste and recycling collection in Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Woodway on July 21 after a temporary suspension. The company suspended services on July 9 to support a Teamsters strike in Boston, which lasted until a tentative agreement was reached on July 18. Residents can expect pickups to occur on their usual schedule starting Monday. This resumption is crucial for maintaining local waste management services, which are essential for community cleanliness and environmental health. The Teamsters' strike highlights ongoing labor negotiations within the waste management sector.

Details of the agreement, while not disclosed, signify a resolution to the labor dispute that affected multiple regions. Local officials emphasize the importance of reliable waste services for community well-being. Republic Services encourages residents to stay informed about collection schedules and any further updates.
