As of August 9 at 12:45 p.m.: We are monitoring impacts of the I-680 road closures and seeing very heavy congestion along Mission Blvd, Mowry Avenue, and Niles Blvd. Please be patient and allow extra travel time this weekend.
I-680 Closure (Aug 8 - Aug 11):
https://t.co/PgTkp0zkyL
Niles Blvd Closure (Aug 10):
https://t.co/DlJPr42H2J
THIS WEEKEND: Highway Closure on I-680 at the Mission San Jose (SR-238) Overpass for Bridge Rehabilitation Project and Additional Local Street Closure at Old Canyon Road in Fremont on the Weekend of August 8, 2025
ADDITIONAL LOCAL STREET CLOSURE: OLD CANYON ROAD
Old Canyon Road will be closed at the intersection of Niles Canyon Road starting Friday, August 8 at 3:00 PM until Monday, August 11 at 5:00 AM. With the planned closure of northbound I-680 at the Mission Blvd North interchange for the weekend of August 8-11, the City anticipates heavy traffic along the Caltrans detour route of Mission Boulevard and Niles Canyon Road. To help deter freeway traffic entering local residential roadways, Old Canyon Road at the intersection of Niles Canyon Road will be closed. Please be mindful, as navigation apps may direct some motorists onto local residential roadways to bypass the Mission Blvd Boulevard corridor.
While the City recognizes the I-680 closure will be an inconvenience to nearby residents, this additional road closure aims to provide relief to local residents near Mission Boulevard. The City will report this roadway closure to navigation apps and monitor traffic throughout the weekend. We recognize how disruptive the closure will be and have learned from other cities during previous closures that these smaller measures could help lessen the impact from traffic apps.
NORTHBOUND I-680 FULL HIGHWAY CLOSURE:
A segment of NB I-680 will be closed and traffic will be detoured through the Mission Blvd/SR-238 Off Ramp towards Eastbound SR-84. Closures will start Friday August 8 at 10:00 PM and conclude on the following Monday August 11 at 5:00 AM.
NORTHBOUND I-680 DETOUR:
Motorists traveling northbound on I-680 will need to exit right onto Mission Blvd/SR-238 Off-Ramp; Left towards NB Mission Blvd/SR-238; Continue on Mission Blvd/SR-238; Make a right onto Niles Canyon Rd (SR-84) and continue; Right onto NB I-680/SR-84 On-Ramp; Merge and continue onto NB I-680 towards Sacramento.

Waste Collection Service Alert Update for July 15, 2025 – Evening
The City of Fremont is providing another update to keep our community informed about the status of waste collection services.
As the current service disruption from Republic Services continues for the eighth day—stemming from a work stoppage by local drivers in solidarity with Teamster drivers striking in other U.S. cities—the City is urging Republic Services to restore full service to the Fremont community and have its local employees return to work. This remains a top priority, as we understand the current situation is creating unnecessary public health impacts.
For Wednesday, July 16, Republic Services is planning the following:
– Residential garbage routes with additional drivers are planned, focusing on Thursday and Friday routes.
Status remains the same on the following:
– Green organics/yardwaste carts and blue recycling carts will continue to be delayed at this point. The City has no further information on when recycling and organics/yardwaste carts will be collected.
– As drivers start to catch up from last week’s collection routes, the City is asking residents not to place their carts at the curb for this week’s collection days. For example, if your pick-up day is normally Wednesday, July 16, please don’t set out your cart yet. That day’s collection will be delayed until further notice.
Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station:
– Fremont residents and businesses with any type of proof of business/residency can continue to take their normal trash, recycling, and organics/yardwaste for free disposal to the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station, located at 41149 Boyce Rd. in Fremont. https://t.co/TaTYhQugFP
– Free drop-offs of normal trash, recycling, and organics/yardwaste start at 6:00 a.m. at the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station (instead of 8:00 a.m.). https://t.co/TaTYhQugFP
– We understand that the lines may be long and appreciate your patience with the staff at the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station. They are working extra hours to help the City recover. (We have been informed that wait times are generally only about 8 to 15 minutes long.)
At this time, the City and Republic Services staff do not have any information on when the current work stoppage will end, nor do we have any information on the financial status of customer bills, refunds, etc. while the work stoppage continues.

Waste Collection Service Alert Update for July 12, 2025 – Evening
The City of Fremont is providing another update to keep our community informed about the status of waste collection services.
As the current service disruption from Republic Services continues for a fifth day —stemming from a work stoppage by local drivers in solidarity with Teamster drivers striking in other U.S. cities—the City is urging Republic Services to restore full service to the Fremont community and have its local employees return to work. This remains a top priority, as we understand the current situation is creating unnecessary public health impacts.
Today, Saturday, July 12, Republic Services continued reduced residential collection in Fremont using substitute drivers. Additional substitute drivers will arrive tomorrow, Sunday, and Republic Services will work throughout Sunday to remove TRASH.
You may have received an automated call from Republic Services requesting that all the carts are set out at the curb. Only the black garbage carts will be picked up on Sunday.
The Tuesday (July 8) route has been mostly completed, with the Wednesday (July 9) route to begin on Sunday.
Drivers are prioritizing the collection of black garbage carts, since such waste impacts public health.
Green organics/yardwaste carts and blue recycling carts will continue to be delayed at this point. The City has no further information on when recycling and organics/yardwaste carts will be collected.
As drivers start to catch up from this week’s Tuesday and Wednesday collection routes, the City is asking residents not to place their carts at the curb for next week’s collection days. For example, if your pick-up day is normally Monday, July 14, please don’t set out your cart yet. That day’s collection will be delayed until further notice.

The following update is for single family residents in Fremont:
TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY Customers:
Please place your black trash carts out for collection happening today (Friday), Saturday, and Sunday. The priority is getting the trash/garbage collected and off the street.
This map (https://t.co/9a6kCmKfC9) shows local neighborhoods and customers can look up their scheduled pick-up day on Republic Services’ website at https://t.co/2jVfu0aYUP.
Republic Services will be collecting the recycling and green waste carts separately, as the company normally does, and that may take a few extra days.
Waste Collection Service Alert Update for July 10, 2025
The City of Fremont is providing this third update to keep our community informed about the status of waste collection services.
As the current service disruption from Republic Services continues for a third day —stemming from a work stoppage by local drivers in solidarity with Teamster drivers striking in other U.S. cities—the City is urging Republic Services to restore full service to the Fremont community and have its local employees return to work. This remains a top priority, as we understand the current situation is creating unnecessary public health impacts.
Late today, the City was informed by Republic Services that the company will be restoring most residential collection in Fremont beginning tomorrow, Friday afternoon. Substitute drivers will be working through the service backlog and operating throughout this weekend on Saturday and Sunday, starting with customers whose collection day was on Tuesday of this week.
As the City pursues available remedies and contractual obligations—we invite our community to join us in preserving the health, safety, and livability of our neighborhoods.
· Limit waste generation where possible—avoid disposable items, flatten cardboard and excess packaging.
· Compost food scraps. This reduces odor and volume in your trash.
· Secure trash bags tightly and store them in covered bins or containers to prevent pests and odors. Consider double or triple-bagging potentially smelly items such as pet waste. Reuse old plastic bags you may have on hand.
· Choose products with less packaging. Consider purchasing products in bulk, if you know you will use up the entire contents.
In case you missed our update yesterday, Fremont residents and businesses, with proof of residency/business, may continue to utilize free drop-off disposal services for garbage, recycling, and yardwaste at the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station, 41149 Boyce Rd. in Fremont. For hours of operation visit https://t.co/2rAmwqVRKg.
For billing questions during this service disruption, residents and businesses should contact Republic Services for assistance at 510-657-3500 or https://t.co/tFAv6B0CzF.
The City will continue to provide timely updates as new information becomes available. We appreciate the community’s patience during this time.
Waste Collection Service Alert Update for July 9, 2025
Good evening,
The City of Fremont is providing a second update to keep our community informed about the status of waste collection services.
We recognize how essential timely and reliable waste collection is for our residents and businesses. The current disruption in service from Republic Services—stemming from a work stoppage by local drivers in solidarity with Teamster drivers striking in other U.S. cities—is understandably concerning.
The City is working with Republic Services in an effort to restore service as quickly as possible for our community. Given the uncertainty around how long the work stoppage may last, the City is actively exploring potential service options to support residents and businesses in the event the disruption continues in the coming days or weeks.
In the meantime, Fremont residents and businesses, with proof of business/residency, may utilize free drop-off disposal services at the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station, located at 41149 Boyce Rd. in Fremont. For hours of operation at the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station, please visit their website at https://t.co/2rAmwqVRKg.
We appreciate the community’s patience during this time and we will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
We want to share an important waste collection service alert with our community.
Republic Services, Fremont’s waste collection provider, is currently experiencing a work stoppage by local drivers. These drivers are acting in solidarity with fellow Teamster drivers striking in the Boston, Massachusetts area. This work stoppage is expected to significantly disrupt waste collection services, resulting in greatly reduced service for both residential and commercial customers in Fremont, Newark, and Union City over the next few days.
Please be aware that you may experience a modified schedule for your waste collection. Republic Services is working to implement alternative services where possible, including adding Saturday collection. We will continue to keep you informed.
While there may be rumors circulating on social media, we want to clarify that a drone show was not scheduled or announced for this evening at Central Park in connection with the concert. The idea was discussed internally, however an actual planned event never came to fruition. We wish the community a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.
