Trash pickup is set to resume Saturday after Republic Services and the Teamsters reached a tentative deal Friday, ending a nearly two-week strike that left garbage piling up across cities from San Jose to Fairfield.

Republic Services is resuming limited trash pickup services in Contra Costa County after suspensions due to a nationwide garbage workers' strike for higher wages and benefits.

Union reps say they're asking for better pay, improved health insurance and a pension for landfill workers in Manteca, who are on strike.
