Mayor Cherelle Parker announced the conclusion of the Philadelphia city workers strike today. The strike began on Tuesday, July 1. After negotiations, the City and AFSCME District Council 33 (DC 33) have reached a tentative agreement on a new three-year contract that will provide a more fair compensation for municipal employees. Following the conclusion of the strike, all City departments are now preparing to resume normal operations.

Normal curbside trash and recycling collections will resume on Monday, July 14. Temporary dumpster sites will be transitioned out and shut down on a rolling basis. Residents can stay updated on the list of sites here. Dumpster sites will be staffed with trash compactors and crews temporarily as the residual trash and debris is cleaned up.

Residents are urged to use the six Sanitation Convenience Centers. The centers will be open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, they will be open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Beginning Monday, July 14 they will resume normal operations, Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
