National Garbage Man Day Coming Soon

Since National Garbage Man Day was first celebrated in 2013, it has steadily gained momentum. The Week of June 17th marks the week long celebration for the professionals in our industry. Since 2013, every year, new cities, counties and companies are joining the week long celebration and expressing their gratitude for the hard work performed by the men and women in the sanitation industry. There is no doubt respect for this valuable job and service to our society has risen dramatically in recent years.

These days, you can’t visit the toy department of any major retailer without finding toy garbage and recycle trucks. Especially popular with young children, the more lights and sounds these trucks have, the better! Among these same aisles you can even find garbage man costumes for dress up and pretend play. And it’s worth mentioning, Bates Trucking's garbage and recycle trucks have been requested for appearances at kids birthday parties!
