Our drivers often represent an extra set of eyes and ears in the communities we serve. Rick, a driver in Lynnwood, WA, is another example. His years of training and knowledge of community came forward recently when Rick noticed a small child running down the street after his collection truck. One of his customers did not realize that her son, who loves collection day, had discovered how to open the front door. Rick quickly stopped his truck, picked up the child and returned him safely to his home. Once reunited with a grateful mom, Rick took a few minutes from his route to let the boy climb into the cab and play around. We are thrilled to have another young fan and we are, of course, very proud of our driver.
