By Caroline Ask, Solid Waste Division Manager
Every day, the City of College Station’s Solid Waste Division is at the forefront of keeping our community clean. These men and women are the unsung heroes who rise before dawn to ensure our streets remain spotless and safe for us to live, work, and play.
Their work is not just about cleaning up; it’s an essential part of maintaining public health and well-being.
As Solid Waste and Recycling Workers Week comes to a close, we would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for their dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment. In addition to their daily routines, our crew frequently faces challenges such as cleaning up spills and managing post-storm debris.
Let’s remember that behind each clean street is someone working tirelessly. We can all help lighten the load by reducing litter and properly disposing of waste, enhancing the environment for everyone.
The Solid Waste Division, part of the Public Works Department, provides all municipal solid waste collection services within the city limits. Their work touches every residential customer, apartment complex, and commercial entity each week – more than 42,000 accounts!
