Waste and recycling professionals work hard every day to protect the environment for all of us. We’ve all seen the drivers who collect our waste and recycling, but there are many more workers behind the scenes. All of them deserve our thanks for the work they do.
Next week we have a chance to show our appreciation. The week of June 17 is National Waste and Recycling Workers Week, a national event that highlights the role of waste and recycling workers in keeping our environment safe and clean.
Please join us as we recognize them for their valuable contribution. Here are some ways you can say “thank you!”
