Garbage collection in Union City is being disrupted once again due to picketing at Republic/Allied Waste facilities in the Bay Area. The labor dispute does not involve the City but residents and businesses are being impacted.
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.
