As temperatures rise, staying hydrated is one of the most important ways to protect your health. Drinking enough water helps regulate body temperature, maintain energy levels, and keep your body performing at its best, especially during hot summer days or when spending time outdoors.

Don’t wait until you feel thirsty. Keep your favorite water bottle nearby (like ours below!), take regular breaks to hydrate, and choose water over sugary or caffeinated drinks whenever possible. Small, consistent sips can make a big difference.

Let’s make hydration a priority this summer and take care of ourselves and each other. Stay cool, stay safe, and drink up!

Shoutout to our amazing team of mechanics! It is no small task to keep a fleet of trucks and equipment up and running day after day, year after year.
Rain, sun or snow our mechanics are in the shops or out on the roadside making sure our drivers can get back up and running quickly.
Huge thanks to all those dedicated workers who are so willing to dig in and get the job done!

We can't say enough how much we appreciate the hardworking folks who are out there, rain or shine, keeping the city clean.
But we can certainly try.
In honor of Trash Drivers Week, we want to shout out the people who most of us don't have to think about because they just get the job done.
To all trash drivers everywhere, thank you for all that you do.

Had so much fun with the kiddos at Lilly Pond Elementary today! We got to answer questions about trash and recycling and show the kids how our awesome trucks work!

Thank you for letting us stop by!

Employee Spotlight!
This week we are highlighting our District Manager – Kris Wright.
He may not like us pointing out how many years he’s put in but we’re going to do it anyway. Kris has put in 29 years! That means he’s got the knowledge and experience that only those years can bring to the table. He’s steady, sharp and easy to work with. He holds the line.
And despite all those years of hard-won wisdom he remains a devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys. We will forgive him for that small flaw.🏈
Thanks for all that you do to keep us on the right track, Kris!
MOUNT UP!
