Here's Some Ways To Thank Your Waste And Recycling Workers

DUNEDIN, FL — Dunedin Celebrates National Waste & Recycling Workers Week. During the week of June 15-19, wave to your garbage man or woman in celebration of National Waste & Recycling Workers Week.

The service workers in the Solid Waste and the Fleet Division play a vital role in keeping the city of Dunedin delightful. Many of us never think twice about our garbage and recyclables once we throw it away, but as you can imagine, the world would be a trashy place without these workers. On a daily basis, the employees of the city’s Solid Waste & Recycling and Fleet Services divisions are “Keeping You and the Environment Safe."

“The daily efforts of our sanitation & mechanics team is essential to keep Dunedin safe, clean and healthy for not only our residents but our visitors too," Bill Pickrum, city of Dunedin Solid Waste division director, said.

Join the city of Dunedin in showing your appreciation for your hard-working city workers, and the amazing job they do by leaving them notes/drawings on the garbage cans, email or call the department, or even meet them at the curb to tell them "Thank You" for all their hard work'
