Fullerton officials said crews are starting with the areas that missed pickups first and one- to two-day delays are expected early in the week. Street sweeping will continue, but the city has paused enforcement for trash bins and street sweeping violations through the end of the week.

Republic Services is the second-largest residential waste hauler in North America. Cities like Garden Grove, Fullerton, and Huntington Beach have established temporary drop-off locations for bagged trash to help residents manage the accumulating waste.

The Teamsters union said it had picket lines up at Republic Services locations in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Other strikes against Republic, a national waste management firm, have begun in Georgia and Illinois.

It’s unclear how long the delays could last as many of the county’s trash collectors stand in solidarity with an ongoing strike in Boston.

LA County residents face trash pile-ups due to a strike by Republic Services workers, affecting over two million people.

Lynnfield, North Reading, and Wakefield have notified Republic Services that it is failing to meet contractual obligations as a Teamsters union strike against the waste management company reaches two weeks.

Local Republic Services workers continue to honor picket lines in solidarity with striking sanitation workers in Boston.

Last week, workers in the Teamsters Union announced they were going on strike, which includes the Forward Landfill in Manteca.
