Kenmore and LFP residents Take your garbage and recycling to Lake Forest Park City Hall

Amid the Teamsters' strike against Republic Services, the company has initiated a free waste drop-off service for Lake Forest Park and Kenmore residents. This service allows residents to dispose of garbage, compostables, and recycling at City Hall on July 17 and 18, 2025, from 9 AM to 3 PM. Participants should bag their materials, with Republic Services staff available on-site for assistance. The strike has raised concerns about waste management in the affected areas, prompting this initiative. The drop-off location is 17425 Ballinger Way NE, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155.

Republic Services aims to ease the burden of waste disposal during the labor dispute. The company acknowledges the community's patience as they navigate this work stoppage. This measure reflects the company's commitment to maintaining service continuity despite operational challenges.
