Trash woes continue as some neighborhoods start third week with no garbage pickup
Waste crews are struggling to catch up with a massive backup of trash and recycling.
The garbage is still piled up in many areas across King County after winter weather shut down services for about a week. Certain areas in Maple Valley and Ravensdale again had services canceled because of icy and slushy road conditions on Wednesday.
But even where waste services have resumed, including 95 percent of Seattle according to Seattle Public Utilities, there are pockets of trouble.
“I’ve never seen it get worse than this,” said Sean Ewing, a Seattle resident in the Greenwood neighborhood.
