City of San Diego encourages residents, businesses to contact local waste hauler to address trash pileup

December 31, 2021 By sdcnews

San Diego, CA–Residents and businesses in the City of San Diego affected by private trash hauler Republic Services’ labor dispute are being advised to contact the company directly to request collection service. 

The City of San Diego’s Environmental Services Department provides waste collection services to single-family residences, but businesses, multi-family residences, and private streets in the city are serviced by private franchise waste haulers, including Republic Services. 

For nearly two weeks, Republic Services sanitation drivers have been on strike over an ongoing dispute with company management regarding pay and working conditions. 

Mayor Todd Gloria has been in frequent communication with Republic Services management and workers to urge compromise and a speedy resolution to the labor dispute so that services can resume.  

The city is examining its franchise agreement with Republic Services to determine what remedies are available in the contract to address illegal trash pileup and other impacts of the ongoing strike.  

Republic has set up an email account specifically to address individual pick-up requests by customers whose trash is piling up during the worker strike: CustomerServiceSD@RepublicServices.com.
