We had great weather for Hauler Appreciation Day.
Last week, YCSWA and Reworld Waste showed our appreciation for our trash haulers and other customers with coffee and doughnuts, along with lunch from Killer Eats and small gift of our appreciation!
To make the day even more exciting, President Commissioner, Julie Wheeler, and Vice President Commissioner, Scott Burford, joined YCSWA staff to serve lunch to the haulers.
Thank you, trash haulers, for the work you do each day to keep York County clean and safe.
