t’s almost time for Waste & Recycling Workers Week, our annual celebration of the dedicated waste professionals in our community!
During the week of June 17-21, we encourage you to show your appreciation by serving those who serve our communities. This weeklong celebration seeks to recognize and celebrate the men and women in the waste and recycling industry as front-line responders. It’s our hope that every man and woman in the waste industry is respected and celebrated for the important work they do in service to our communities.
Whether it’s a plate of cookies, a handmade card from a child, or a heartfelt handshake, your appreciation will mean the world to the waste and recycling workers in your community.
We hope you’ll join us the week of June 17-21 in honoring our waste professionals. For more information and ways to recognize Waste & Recycling Workers Week in your community, check out our celebration resources, or try some of the suggestions below:
