Many customers around Western Washington have been expressing frustrations with trash pile-ups as the Republic Services strike enters its 10th day. The strike comes as the Republic Services employees across the country are demanding higher wages, improved benefits, and better worker protections.

The strike is affecting Bellevue, Kent, Edmonds, Lynnwood and Renton, as well as unincorporated parts of King and Snohomish counties.

As trash bins continue to overflow during the Republic Services strike, junk removal services are not letting this opportunity go to waste.
