Service Alert Update: Garbage Collection Delays Continue – Limited Weekend Collection Service

UNION CITY, CA, July 11, 2025 - Union City's waste hauler, Republic Services, remains impacted by a labor action involving drivers who began a work stoppage on July 8 in solidarity with Teamster union members nationwide.
As a result of the work disruption, the following services are currently delayed:

  • Landfill (garbage) collection for all residents, apartments/condos, and businesses
  • Recycling and compost collection served by Republic Services for apartments/condos and businesses

Note: Compost and recycling collection services provided by Tri-CED Community Recycling are not impacted.

Republic Services has informed the City that minimal service will begin this weekend for residential collection. Residents should leave the garbage carts out for service.
Union City residents may continue to utilize the three designated garbage drop-off locations. Bins will continue to be serviced daily by Republic Services.

Drop-Off Locations Available

1. City Parking Lot#1 near Union City BART - 11th Street & Decoto Road

2. Mark Green Sports Center - 31224 Union City Blvd.

Note: These bins are for household garbage only. These bins will be serviced daily by Republic Services.

3. Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station - 41149 Boyce Road. Fremont, 94538


As the City pursues all available remedies, we invite our community to join us in preserving the health, safety, and livability of our neighborhoods.

  • Compost food scraps. This reduces odor and volume in your trash.
  • Secure trash bags tightly to prevent pests and odors. Consider double or triple-bagging potentially smelly items such as pet waste. Reuse old plastic bags you may have on hand.

We will continue to provide timely updates as more information becomes available. We appreciate the community's continued patience and understanding during this time. For questions, please contact Republic Services at 510-657-3500 or visit by visiting www.republicservices.com
