Seattle Public Utilities is telling customers to put out their garbage and yard waste as normal on Tuesday.

Talks between Waste Management and Teamsters Local 174 garbage and yard waste drivers are ongoing, but the drivers will be on the job on Tuesday. Their contract expired March 31.

Contract talks are still ongoing between Waste Management and Teamsters Local 174 garbage and yard waste drivers, so if today’s your day for garbage pick-up, go ahead and put it out like usual.

Seattle Public Utilities will keep us updated as to any new developments or possible strike.

Conditions permitting, Thursday and Friday garbage customers could have their stuff picked up Saturday and Sunday, per the City of Seattle.

Friday customers’ garbage will be picked up Saturday, while Thursday’s customers will see their garbage picked up Sunday, again, conditions permitting. Monday through Wednesday customers should just put out their garbage next week on the regular day. There will be no charge for extra garbage, according to the press release:

Thursday and Friday customers are advised to leave their garbage at the curb through Sunday. Collection contractors will inspect neighborhood routes throughout the weekend for service opportunities. Customers scheduled for Monday through Wednesday pickup should set out their materials on their normal appointed days, next week. There will be no additional charge for setting out extra garbage.

Seattle Public Utilities’ Web site and call center (206-684-3000) will be updated with the most current collection information. Customers can also sign-up for CurbWaste E-News service alerts.
