Boston officials are calling on Republic Services to return to the table and settle with trash workers, saying that the ongoing strike is a public health emergency.

For those with immediate disposal needs, free drop-offs of bagged trash are available with proof of residency at the Republic Services Transfer Station, Gate No. 5, located at 17121 Nichols Lane. Trash can be dropped off there from Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This was the stock's second consecutive day of gains.
