LFP: union talks in Massachusetts delay garbage and recycling pickup

Garbage and recycling services are temporarily delayed due to an unanticipated work stoppage.

Republic Services is in contract negotiations with a union representing some of its employees in Massachusetts.

Those employees are engaged in a temporary work stoppage, which was joined today, October 3, 2019, by some employees at the Lake Forest Park/Kent/Bellevue location.

Because of this, Republic is experiencing delays in collection service, but is working to resolve this situation as soon as possible.

Residents are asked to leave containers out and available for collection, and they will be serviced as soon as possible.
