Due to an out-of-area labor disruption that has caused a work stoppage at Republic Services’ local operations in King County and Snohomish County, Republic Services has suspended service today. Impacted neighborhoods today are Factoria, Lake Hills, Woodridge, West Lake Sammamish, and parts of Eastgate. Republic Services will collect double the amount of garbage, recycling, and compost materials on the next regularly scheduled service day at no additional charge. It is unknown how long this work stoppage will last. Updates will be posted on Republic’s website at www.republicbellevue.com.
