We are expecting delays on waste collection Wednesday, July 9, 2025, amid labor issues at our contract service provider, Republic Services. Wednesday collections could see delays by a day. If your trash was not picked up, leave your bins out for potential makeup service on Thursday, similar to a holiday week. If you are in an association community, check with your management for any guidance.
The delays are related to a union strike in the Boston area. There is no strike in Brea. Some local workers are picketing in support of striking union members on the East Coast.
Republic is working on contingency plans in Brea. We understand the frustration of the delay in service, and we appreciate your patience. We will provide any additional updates here. If you have questions, you can reach out directly to Republic Services at (714) 238-2444.
