  1. Just dropped off a couple of weeks of garbage plus a bag of extra garbage caused by house repair at the Republic Services dropoff point.

    They're very quick, very polite.

    They don't even seem to be bothering to check whether you're a customer - I didn't give them any information, nor did they ask for any. They really want you in and out of there. The queue was nonexistent.

    Just as I got there, I saw a large pickup truck leaving with a whole _bunch_ of empty trashcans.

    Interesting.

  2. Workers are on strike against Republic Services - the waste disposal company - and there's no trash pickup in a whole bunch of areas.

    That strike includes North King County and south Snohomish County, which is to say, hi.

    Republic Services reps are doing a trash / recycling / etc dropoff location not far from me.

    Does anyone know if the strikers have issued a statement opposing the use of those dropoffs? Do they have a position?

    (It would be much easier and cheaper than trying to haul stuff to the closest transfer station, so I do actually care.)

    eta: see my reply with what I've found, such as it is
