As garbage continues to accumulate across roughly two dozen Bay Area cities impacted by a nationwide Teamsters strike, Republic Services has begun deploying "substitute drivers" in a limited effort to restore trash collection services.

As the nationwide garbage standoff between Teamsters union members and Republic Services continues, some Bay Area cities are resorting to temporary drop-off sites this weekend to appease residents’ concerns about mounting trash.

People who live in several Alpharetta neighborhoods in North Fulton County, say their trash is piling up due to a union strike at the sanitation company that provides the service.
