From County Supervisor John Gioia:

UPDATE ON GARBAGE COLLECTION:
A labor dispute between Republic Services and its workers at its Stockton landfill facility has resulted in a statewide labor action where garbage collection has been disrupted in communities around California that are served by Republic.

We have had no garbage collection in most of West County since Monday.

I have been in contact with Republic and the Teamsters Union (representing the workers) to encourage a resolution.

Starting today, Republic has opened up its Golden Bear Transfer Station at 1 Parr Blvd., Richmond (in North Richmond off the Richmond Parkway) at no charge.

West County residents (bring your ID to show residency) may drop off up to 4 bags of trash for free. No bulky items or household hazardous waste.

Transfer Station is open Monday to Friday from 7 am to 5 pm and on Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm.

Republic is also recommending that residents place their extra trash in sturdy trash bags, secure them on their property where they can’t be broken open by animals. When service resumes, they will be picked up at no charge.

Contra Costa Health and West County cities are exploring options to insure that this does not become a public health issue

For the latest details on service schedules and potential disruptions, we encourage residents to visit www.republicservices.com. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

By summer, Glydways is expected to have its test track operational, marking the first major development at Hilltop Mall since stores closed four years ago.

This will coincide with the release of a broader redevelopment plan for residential and commercial use that furthers a vision the city has outlined called Hilltop Horizon.

Glydways is building a track at the Hilltop Mall to pilot its futuristic Glydcar public transportation system.
