Republic Services confirmed that waste and recycling pickup will resume on July 21 in Lynnwood, Edmonds, and Woodway. The company had previously suspended services on July 9 in solidarity with a Teamsters strike in Boston. Following negotiations, a tentative agreement was reached on July 18, allowing services to restart. Residents experienced disruptions in waste management during the strike, raising concerns about sanitation and public health. Local officials emphasized the importance of consistent waste collection for community well-being.

The agreement is anticipated to restore normalcy in service and alleviate resident frustrations. Historically, such strikes can lead to prolonged service interruptions, making this resolution significant. The swift action by both parties reflects a commitment to maintaining essential services during labor disputes.
