In Loving Memory of Zbigniew Galka of Gaskells Waste Services

Zbigniew Galka

Company: Gaskells Waste Services

Years of Service: 3

Comments: Zbigniew Galka, 39, and a father of two was originally from Katowice in Poland and worked as a garbage man in Liverpool when he sustained injuries while on the job that resulted in his death. Gaskells Waste Services were deeply shocked and upset at what has happened. Whilst this is an isolated incident in more than 19 years of trading, we are only thinking about the family of the deceased. Because of the safety issues raised by Galka, new rules and safety regulations have taken affect in the United Kingdom to prevent any other incidents. Our prayers are still with Galka’s family and friends, and we have him to thank for progress with safety in the sanitation world.

We will not forget you, Zbigniew Galka.


Together, let’s honor the memory of the men and women who have served by our side. Whether on the garbage trucks, delivering portable sanitation units, or working in the offices and repair shops, the employees of our industry serve important roles and are very special people. As we remember this fallen hero of the waste industry, we join with their family and co-workers to honor their service.
