No Garbage Service Today, Tomorrow Due to Labor Dispute

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

The City of Union City said that the labor dispute does not involve them but does impact residents and businesses.

A similar service disruption occurred earlier this month.

Here's more from the City of Union City:

• Residential customers: All single family residential customers with Thursday and Friday pickups won’t be served and should not set out their blue trash carts.  Next week, Thursday and Friday customers can place extra bags of trash out equivalent to their normal weekly amount of trash with their blue carts and it will be picked up. Recycling and green waste will be picked up as usual over the next couple of days. So brown and green carts can be set out.  Please do not place any trash in your recycling or organics carts.

• Commercial customers: Certain commercial customers will be served, and the list of such customers will be made public as soon as we receive it from Republic/Allied Waste. Commercial customers not on the list will not receive trash or recycling pickups, but will receive green/food waste pickups  Commercial customers with Saturday pickups may also experience service disruptions, but we won’t know for sure until early Saturday morning
