Trash pickup in Mahoning and Trumbull counties continued without interruption Wednesday despite a nationwide Teamsters strike against waste management company Republic Services, which owns and operates the Carbon Limestone Landfill in Lowellville.

That could change.

“We have a small number of union picketers outside of our Carbon Limestone Landfill, but the landfill is operating today,” a Republic Services media representative said Wednesday in an email requesting comment.

Republic Services also has maintained its local collection services.

“I spoke with some members of their (hauling) staff earlier (Wednesday), and right now it doesn’t seem to be impacting them locally,” said Lou Vega, director of the Mahoning County Solid Waste Management District. “If that strike comes down to this area, at some point, maybe there would be some kind of impact.

“But as far as I’m concerned for today, and from what I inquired, trash services and recycling services are going on as normal.”

Vega said the situation remained fluid.

“Tomorrow might be an entirely different story,” he said.

Boston-based Teamsters Local 25 has been on strike against Republic Services for several weeks. Boston.com reported Wednesday the sides met with a federal mediator Tuesday, but did not reach an agreement. Additional negotiations have not been scheduled, according to the website.

In addition to Valley traffic, Republic Services landfill on State Line Road draws its customers from New York and New Jersey by truck and train traffic. The company does not disclose its customer list.

This week, the Teamsters expanded their dispute to include Los Angeles and Lowellville.

“Over 2,000 Republic Teamsters are either on strike or honoring picket lines because of the company’s illegal union-busting tactics and refusal to bargain in good faith,” the union said in a news release. “Republic’s strike has resulted in major disruptions to waste collections for millions of Americans nationwide.”

Jennifer Jones, director of the Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District, said she was told trucks have not been prevented from entering the landfill.

“It’s just the lines are long, and they’re diverting some waste to Waste Management’s (Mahoning Landfill) in New Springfield,” Jones said.

A majority of Trumbull County’s trash haulers head to the Lowellville site, Jones said.

“We have no landfills in Trumbull County, so the vast majority of our trash from Trumbull County does end up at Carbon,” she said.

Jones said that any issues at the Lowellville landfill would involve smaller customers.

“Just regular people off the street trying to get rid of a couch, or smaller companies trying to get rid of smaller things. That’s going to be a big disruption.They’re going to see long waits.”

If the labor standoff changes for the worst, Vega and Jones said Republic Services will notify their agencies as a courtesy.

“But as of today, things seem to be going OK,” Vega said.
