Swampscott trash pick-ups to resume July 7

SWAMPSCOTT — The town has announced that Republic Services will resume trash and recycling pick-ups on July 7 after the previous announcement on Wednesday of the company going on strike.

“We have been notified by our trash contractor, Republic, that trash and recycling will not be collected this week. Republic has assured us that they will resume full operations on Monday, and will collect two weeks worth of trash & recycling. Please do your best to keep your trash in covered containers. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding,” the town wrote in an online statement.

The strike has affected communities across the North Shore such as Swampscott, Marblehead, Lynnfield, and Peabody.

It was initiated after the workers’ contracts with Republic Services expired due to stalled negotiations between Republic and Teamsters Local 25, the union stated.

Interim Town Administrator and Director of the Department of Public Works Gino Cresta expressed his views on the matter.

“It’s going to be a challenge for residents to keep their trash in place for another week, but what we’re hoping for (is) that they’ll be here Monday to pick up everybody’s trash, regardless of how much is out there,” Cresta said. “They’re not going to pick up bulk items, like metals … but if there’s a little bit of extra trash, residents aren’t going to have to worry about it.”
