Sanitation crews prioritized trash and compost collection after the storm, running extended shifts and extra equipment, leaving recyclables about one day behind.
Fairfield Mayor Catherine "Cat" Moy announced that the city has sent a letter to Republic Services, asserting that it is in violation of their contract, which allows for steep fines and potential contractor changes.
"You are standing up for working people across America," Moulton told workers while on the picket line Tuesday, according to WBZ. "Republic is repeatedly failing to put a fair deal on the table. If you just look at what Republic is paying compared to other trash collection companies in the area, they're underpaid."
