Remembering Dr. King’s Legacy | For Freedom and Peace
Those of us at National Garbage Man Day take this time to commemorate the history of Martin Luther King Jr., and the work that he did towards creating equality in America.
We appreciate each and every one of you, and wish freedom and peace be yours.
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” -Martin Luther King Jr.

Sanitation Workers: The First Line of Community Protection & Crime Prevention – Featured Article from johnarwood.com
Sanitation Workers Watching Out For Safety
In a recent article posted on www.johnarwood.com, John Arwood’s personal website, he highlighted several ways sanitation workers could partner with local first responders and law enforcement to help protect their communities.
As the safest communities have learned, partnerships between law enforcement officers and the public in crime prevention are the most effective ways of stopping criminals. Who better to help prevent crime than our very own sanitation workers? They are the workforce who are already in our neighborhoods and communities every day keeping us safe and clean. Garbage men provide extra eyes for police officers and know when something’s out of the ordinary. – John Arwood

Start the New Year with a Clean Slate – 3 Tips to Make this Year the Best!
Your friends at Arwood Waste would like to wish you a Happy New Year!
It’s amazing what kind of impact just a few small changes can make. Use these tips to start off strong and make this a prosperous, rewarding, and productive new year.
#1 Simplify your environment.
Take a few minutes to walk through your home or business and ask yourself, “What can I get rid of here?” HELPFUL HINT: If it hasn’t been used in more than a year, it’s time to go. If you have a newer version, don’t keep the old one around ‘just in case’. Have a stack of half done projects? Make a plan to get them finished. Keeping them around only acts as a reminder of half-fulfilled efforts.
A purge of your physical environment brings clarity and space for vision in the atmosphere of your home or business.
#2 Share your abundance with others.
When simplifying last year’s stacks of stuff, consider what might be donated, recycled or re-purposed. Remember, what you have no need for may be just the thing someone else has been searching high and low to find.
Check out The Recycle Guide for places to drop off your re-purposed items or for more ideas on how to recycle.
#3 Plan space for growth.
You can’t add a new healthy habit, project, or vision to your plate without letting go of an old one. Set yourself up for success with your New Year’s resolutions. Start by evaluating what’s on your plate now. Decide what can be delegated, modified, or simply stopped. Then put that newly found time and energy into this year’s goals and habits.
Arwood Waste and our partners specialize in helping you haul the junk out of life. Contact us Toll Free at (888) 413-5105 for help disposing of all that purging and cleaning of the old so you can welcome in the new.

Holiday Reminder: Arwood Waste wants to celebrate all the holidays with you too!
Holiday Waste Pickup Schedule
Arwood Waste wants to celebrate all the holidays with you too. This is why we created a Holiday Pick-up schedule so you can make arrangements and placement of your waste material while we spend time with our families. Businesses that currently receive collection may have different schedules and procedures than residential customers since business garbage is normally collected separately from residential garbage.
Call us toll free at 1-800-477-0854 today and ask us how we can save you time and money.
Collection service will be postponed by one day following these holidays:
- New Year’s Day – No Service on January 1st. One day delay. Example; Tuesday collection day will be serviced on Wednesday.
- Fourth of July – No Service on July 4th. One day delay. Thursday collection day will be serviced on Friday.
- Labor Day – No Service on the first Monday of September. One day delay. Monday collection day will be serviced on Tuesday.
- Thanksgiving Day – No Service on the last Thursday of November. One day delay. Thursday collection day will be serviced on Friday.
- Christmas Day – No Service on December 25th. One day delay. Example; Wednesday collection day will be serviced on Thursday.
- Halloween Day – We will be providing service on October 31st. If the route is delayed and cannot be finished before dusk we will finish the route the next business day.
- National Garbage Man Day – We will be providing service on June 17th as scheduled. Please remember to throw up your hand with a simple smile and say “Thank You”.
Due to the one day postponement, the collection of containers is resumed as follows: If the holiday is on a Monday, then the Monday collection will occur on Tuesday, Tuesday collection will occur on Wednesday, and so on. If the holiday is on a Thursday, then the Thursday collection will occur on Friday and Friday collection will occur on Saturday for that week only. On all other holidays, normal collection of containers will occur. If a holiday falls on the weekend, then pickups will run on a normal schedule unless otherwise specified.

3 Ways to Appreciate Your Garbage Man During the Holidays
The Holidays are a busy time for everyone and it can be easy to overlook those who serve us year round.
Always prepared, consistently there, in heat or snow, your Garbage Workers make it their job (literally) to dispose of your disposables. Why not show your appreciation to them this season?
1. Give a Gift Card.
Give the gift of a warm drink this year. Perhaps your garbage collector would love to warm up with a hot cup of coffee from your local coffee shop.
2. Sing a Song.
Can’t get that carol out of your mind? Grab a couple of friends and head down to the city sanitation department. Serenade the men and women faithfully working to brighten their day.
3. Just say “Thanks!”
Short on cash? Not musically inclined? No worries! Your garbage man will appreciate your simple “thank you” in person or with a card.
Happy Holidays from Garbage Man Day
Look out for more ways to show appreciation for your Garbage Men and Women during the week of June 17th when we once again celebrate National Garbage Man Day.

Did you know this respected profession goes back to at least 3000 B.C.? Here are 10 interesting things from more recent history that you may not have known about your garbage workers:
- 1350 A.D. – The first garbage men got their jobs when England passed a law requiring front yards to be clean after nearly 25 million people died during an outbreak of the plague. These first garbage workers were called Rakers.
- 1388 A.D. – English Parliament banned the dumping of waste into ditches and public water ways.
- 1757 A.D. – Benjamin Franklin started the first street cleaning service.
- 1760 A.D. – The Industrial Revolution hit it’s stride and so did an increase in industrial waste production.
- 1785 A.D. – England passed the Public Health Act to guarantee public health and protection from sewage and industrial waste.
- 1920-1940’s A.D. – First modern garbage truck was developed. The Garwood Load Packer was the predecessor to almost all waste collection vehicles today.
- 1934 A.D. – The Supreme Court banned dumping waste into the oceans.
- 1937 A.D. – First Landfill opened in the United States in Fresno, California.
- 1940’s A.D. – The United States emerged from WWII as a world industrial super power and the average amount of waste produced increased by 67%. Good thing the waste management industry was ready to go into high gear.
