Boo. Waste management strike.

Apparently I missed that waste management is going on strike?

Wm's site says that we "might" get service tomorrow, but that if no one comes by 6pm then no ones coming. Awesome.

Yup...and if they go longer than 24 hours of missed pick-up, city of Seattle fines them. So they might start wanting to actually reach an agreement with the union!

Glad my service was yesterday.

Well that stinks. Literally.

[BlackCanary]

Well that is just awesome. We have a ton of garabage that needs to get picked up because of the move. At the same time, we won't live here anymore...so not really going to be problem soon.

Ugh I missed this until this morning and was wondering what happened. Somehow our garbage guy made it for pickup yesterday but not our Recycling guy.

[WOT?*]

I asked my neighbor about 30 minutes ago if there was a secret holiday I missed. Nope. Strike. Poop. (literally...cat and kid.)

I just rolled my smelly cans back in.

This is a stupid question, but are we still paying for garbage and yard waste even if they're on strike and not picking up?

They'll pick it up next week so technically you're not losing out on any service. 8-D

they're only "allowed" to strike for one week. and they'll pick up extra next week.
