The Honey Brown Hope Foundation’s “No Trashing Trash Workers Campaign,” sponsored by Frost Bank, is hosted during “Waste and Recycling Workers Week,” June 17-24.
The commemorative week calls for everyone to:
-
Navigate carefully around garbage trucks because many accidents resulting in death or injuries are due to reckless drivers hitting garbage collectors.
-
Not fill or pack trash cans over capacity.
-
Wrap broken glass in newspaper before tossing it in the trash.
-
Sort recycling properly.
-
Not parking and blocking garbage truck on trash day.
-
Not leaving smelly or hazardous mess in an unsuitable container or bag.
Everyone is encouraged to join in the weeklong celebration by thanking trash collectors with a gift card, thank you note, a cold bottle of water on a hot day or just an in-person thank you.
WCA Worker Says this is first time someone in community thanked him for his work.
Founder Tammie Lang Campbell shares why
