Among the services most affected by AFSCME District Council 33’s strike is garbage and recycling collection. Even before workers hit the picket line, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker announced trash collection would be put on hold and called on residents not to place their garbage on the sidewalk for curbside collection.

Sanitation workers in Philadelphia could go on strike as soon as Tuesday, stopping regular residential trash pickup in the city.

Philadelphia residents have been warned to brace for a largescale workers' strike designed to shut down key infrastructure, such as garbage removal, starting Tuesday.
