Dunedin Celebrates National Waste & Recycling Workers Week!

Dunedin Celebrates National Waste & Recycling Workers Week! During the week of June 15th – June 19th wave to your garbage man or woman in celebration of National Waste & Recycling Workers Week!  The service workers in the Solid Waste and the Fleet Division play a vital role in keeping the City of Dunedin Delightful. Many of us never think twice about our garbage & recyclables once we throw it away, but as you can imagine, the world would be a trashy place without these workers. On a daily basis, the employees of the City’s Solid Waste & Recycling and Fleet Services divisions are “Keeping You and the Environment Safe”. Bill Pickrum, City of Dunedin Solid Waste Division Director says, “The daily efforts of our sanitation & mechanics team is essential to keep Dunedin safe, clean, and healthy for not only our residents but our visitors too.”

Join the City of Dunedin in showing your appreciation for your hard-working City workers, and the amazing job they do by leaving them notes/drawings on the garbage cans, email or call the Department, or even meet them at the curb to tell them Thank You for all their hard work!
