A Visit to a Fan
We recently made an extra stop at the home of one of our youngest (and biggest) fans, three-and-a-half year old Seth, thanks to a special request from his mom, Shelby, in the City of Murrieta. According to Shelby, little Seth has been fascinated by our WM collection trucks almost since birth.
When Seth was just barely learning to walk, the sound of our trucks on service day brought him running to the window to watch the mechanical lift in action. It wasn’t long before he managed to venture out to the curb for a closer look, though still from a safe distance.
On our pre-arranged special visit day, Seth and his family were waiting for us when we drove up in our WM collection truck bearing gifts. Seth (with parental supervision) got to clamber into the cab of our truck and sit behind the wheel. We also left him with a toy WM truck to add to his already impressive fleet of 14 model trash trucks and recycling bins.
In response, Shelby sent us a note: “There are still good people on this earth who understand that the little things are what make life so special. Have a great day and know that you were very instrumental in making a fantastic lifetime memory for our family.” Our response: This is just part of our normal recruiting efforts, Shelby. We are always looking for great employees who are passionate about what we do. We’ll be in touch in 20 years…
