Republic Services suspends all routes in LFP for Monday, Feb 18

No collection on Monday, Feb 18

As of February 15, 2019 at 4:30pm, we must regretfully announce — as a result of the continuing challenges on secondary and residential roads -- Republic Services must suspend all routes for Monday, February 18, 2019.

 
We continue to follow the weather and road conditions and will keep Lake Forest Park apprised of any further developments.

Our next update will be issued Tuesday, February 19, 2019. Customers will be able to place out doubles at no extra charge on their next scheduled collection day.

While some of the main thoroughfares are clear of snow and ice, many of the residential side streets remain challenging for our large trucks. In addition, while a car or SUV may be able to traverse the residential roads, travel for the trucks that service many neighborhoods still face challenges.

Moreover, Republic Services places a high priority on the safety of our drivers and the general public. A stark reminder was given to our crews when a driver involved accident occurred on a steep icy and snow covered road in Kenmore on February 14. The event keeps us mindful to err on the side of caution as we make service decisions during inclement weather events.
