EMPLOYEES RECEIVE RESIDENTS’ PRAISE

The Public Services Department would like to recognize several employees for going above and beyond the call of duty.

On March 30, a resident on Mike Allen’s bulk collection route put several large items out for disposal, including an old bookshelf. When the truck's arm picked up the shelf, it shattered into many pieces. Despite the resident telling him not to worry about the mess, Allen got out and insisted on cleaning it, even using a broom and dustpan to make sure all pieces were collected.

During the leaf pick-up season, a resident had a large pile in front of my house. According to the resident, Carlos Munoz and Landon Slack did an excellent job of removing every leaf. As they got to the end of the pile the truck was completely full, and because it was late in the day, the truck left. There were only a few leaves left, and the homeowner was surprised and impressed when they returned the next morning and collected the remaining leaves. Thank you for your dedication and excellent service.
