Saturday, July 12th, 2025 as Solidarity Strike Continues
Residential customers are not being serviced again today as Republic Services employees are not crossing the teamsters picket line.
All Republic Services Management is on site servicing the essentials. They are servicing bulky item pickups that were previously scheduled. They are also servicing the Richmond and County Clean-ups.
Current Options for Trash Removal:
Option #1: Richmond residents can take up to 4 bags to the Golden Bear Transfer Station at no charge. No bulky, no e-waste, no household hazard waste. They must provide ID that they are a resident of Richmond.
