Employees of Allied Waste walked picket lines Thursday morning, meaning your garbage, yard waste or recycling bin might still be full Thursday evening.
Lynnwood, Bellevue and Kent garbage collections were hit as
200 employees of Allied stayed off the job in support of striking garbage truck drivers in Alabama.
Company spokeswoman Peg Mulloy says if workers return to the job on Friday, they’ll run their regular routes and then try to catch up on Thursday’s missed pick-ups.
About 60,000 customers were affected locally by the strike.
