“Republic Services, please come pick up this trash. I don’t care about what y’all got going on, between my dad, kids, and myself —everything is backed up over here. Pay these people because now I’m gonna go to random places. I’m over it,” Gee shared on “ The Gee and Ursula Show ” on KIRO Newsradio.

With no end in sight for the Republic Services garbage worker strike to end, more free drop-off locations are being organized to keep trash from piling up.

Bellevue sets up temporary waste drop-off at Bannerwood Park due to ongoing labor dispute with Republic Services, offering relief for residents during work stoppage.

The work stoppage, led by Teamsters-affiliated employees demanding contract improvements, has now impacted waste collection in parts of King and Snohomish counties. Republic Services, one of the region’s largest waste haulers, is in contract negotiations with workers at five locations across the state.

A free garbage drop-off location in Bellevue provided some relief for customers who haven't had their trash collected for days as a labor dispute drags on.

Workers for Republic Services have expanded their picket lines to King and Snohomish Counties Thursday after a strike kicked off Wednesday morning in Thurston County, led by a union representing trash collectors.

State leaders urge Republic Services to finalize contract with striking Teamsters as uncollected garbage piles up in Massachusetts communities and other states across the country.

Republic Services and the Teamsters have been at a standoff since July 1, when 450 local workers went on strike after the union's contract expired. Teamsters are seeking better wages, benefits and stronger labor protections.
