    Employee Stories

    'My job can be difficult, however I get to enjoy the outdoors. This job also allows me to see different parts of the city as I drive on my different routes. It is also a great workout and keeps me in good shape. Therefore, I don’t have to pay lots of money to go to the gym. It’s a privilege to be part of Solid Waste.'

    - Larry Tabungar, Waste Collection Operator
