Homeowners and some businesses in Chula Vista have been without trash and recycling collection this week.
The city's only waste hauler, Republic Services, has joined a nationwide strike.
Thousands of employees from various states are on strike or honoring the picket line, demanding fair pay and benefits.
In a statement, Republic acknowledged the local service interruptions and said they are making adjustments to their operations. They hope to resume regular service as quickly as possible.
