“My three year old son loves garbage trucks and usually watches from the window. Today we watched from the driveway and driver Ryan waved and talked to my son from the truck. It made his entire day. I can’t tell you how excited my son was!”

Joe Aurelio, Aurelio's Pizza

“Our driver is amazing and always goes above and beyond. Happened to be looking out the window, and saw him get out of his truck to move the neighbor’s cans away from a car so he can dump them. He also picked up loose garbage that was scattered on the ground.”
