“It follows then as certain as that night succeeds the day, that without a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive, and with it, everything honorable and glorious.” – George Washington

It’s True! Old Man Winter will be on the move…just ask any Arwood Waste team member in the North

For much of the country the Winter months also bring a few changes to how portable toilets and portable sanitation units are serviced to keep them functioning properly in the colder temperatures. Not much is worse than the surprise of a solid chunk of frozen waste when you need to use your portable toilet.

To prevent this experience, we may need to provide an additional climatization service to your unit during the months of November through March. If this is required you may notice a small additional Climate Fee on your bill during the affected months.

Arwood Waste and our partners are committed to providing you excellent service all year long! If you have any questions about the Climate Fee or if we can serve you any way, call us at (800) 477-0854.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month…Kudos to the Waste Management Industry for spreading the word

According to the American Cancer Society, in 2013 approximately 39,620 women were expected to die from Breast Cancer. Treatment for this terrible disease is most effective when discovered early through regular screenings which makes public reminders to schedule screenings so important.

“While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same,” according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This truth applies to both genders so men need to be checked for breast cancer too.

We want to highlight a few of the many waste service providers who are raising awareness about breast cancer and helping fund research for a cure this month and all year long.

Republic Services – Pink Ribbons

Cascade Cart Solutions – The Pink Cart

The Pink Carts are available to solid waste and recycling companies across North America with $5 of every purchase going to breast cancer awareness and research in both the United States and Canada.

City of Miami, Oklahoma – Bright Pink Garbage Trucks

 The City of Miami, Oklahoma has added a bright pink truck with the signature pink ribbon to it’s fleet to raise awareness about breast cancer in their local community.

WCA – Pink Trucks and “Pink Shirt Fridays” year round

Not only has WCA painted a variety of their trucks, roll-off containers, and commercial dumpsters pink, but they have also initiated an ongoing program called “Pink Shirt Fridays” where they donate $4 to breast cancer research at MD Anderson for each employee who wears a pink shirt to work on the last Friday of every month.

Beach Waste Services – Panama City, FL

Their pink trucks, pink 96 gallon carts, and pink ribbons show this company’s support for the American Cancer Society and Komen for the Cure.

Arwood Waste and Partners Nationwide

Everyone has an important part to play in battling breast cancer from funding research, to reminding those we love to get screened, to scheduling our own appointments to get checked.

We want to thank all of the many commercial and municipal waste service providers for their support and fundraising efforts to find a cure for breast cancer.

National Garbage Man Day and our friends in the waste management industry care about you so make your plan today, tell your friends, and GET SCREENED!

Happy World Teachers’ Day

This week we stop to remember those special people who taught us math, history, science, and maybe who sent us to detention (for our own good, of course)…Teachers! We have all had at least one teacher in our lives who helped shape who we are today.

Whether it be our own mothers, fathers, or other family members, traditional classroom teachers, professors, or guidance counselors, mentors or elders, teachers of all kinds should be appreciated for the part they play in the education and development of this world.

Call Arwood Waste at (888) 413-5105 to learn how to get the best prices on Roll Off Dumpster Rentals, Portable Toilet Rentals, Commercial Dumpster Rentals, and Storage Rentals

Arwood Waste and our partners greatly appreciate the teachers who invest so much in the lives of others. We thank them for all they do and hope you will take the opportunity today to thank a teacher in your life who has made a great impact.

Happy World Space Week

Next week is the official, United Nation’s declared, World Space Week. Every year during this week, the world comes together to celebrate space innovation and technological developments leading to a better society. National Garbage Man Day wants to remind you that the need for garbage collection is not just an Earthly problem!

Space Waste Solutions

Through partner initiatives like Space Waste Solutions, we are working to find innovative ways of dealing with trash, even in outer space! Every technological advance into space exploration has left a growing problem orbiting our planet. The need for the garbage man goes beyond our atmosphere.

The Problem of Orbiting Space Trash

Did you know that right now there are more than 750,000 pieces of space debris orbiting the Earth at over 15,000 mph? It’s true. The results of the space race along with government and private industry launches of countless satellites have produced a growing problem in need of innovative solutions. This space junk poses a threat to those on Earth, as it often falls back into the atmosphere containing toxic chemicals, as well as to current and future space missions due to the increasing potential for impacts with space craft.

Now is the Time for Action

What better time to harness our ingenuity and creativity to develop solutions for this expanding issue then now. As the world turns it’s eyes to the heavens this week, we must also start working towards solutions to keep them free and clean. Ideas and inventions like the Solar Space Waste Incineration System will mark a way forward but we have to start now.

Find an Event and Learn

Join National Garbage Man Day in celebrating World Space Week by finding an event near you. Also, check out these great resources for educators and parents to teach about World Space Week in the classroom and at home.

Like Space Waste Solutions on Facebook to learn more and connect with others about solving the problem of orbiting space trash.

Autumn is here and it’s a time of change. Whether you’re in a part of the country that’s sunny and warm year-round or a place where you experience the beautiful leaf colors that Autumn brings, change is in the air.

The idea of “Spring Cleaning” doesn’t have to be just for Spring! Use this opportunity of changing seasons to re-organize and get prepared for winter. Here are three ways to do just that:

1. Clean out your closets.

…and your drawers, and anywhere else you may have old items lurking around. Donate any clothes that you haven’t worn in a year. Change out the summer clothes to prepare for the weather change. Consider having a “clothing swap” where friends and neighbors can get together and find “new” items while getting rid of the ones they don’t want or need anymore.

2. Get your priorities set.

A change in season is the perfect time to re-evaluate your priorities. Has there been something on your mental to-do list that still isn’t done? Write down your goals. What things have to get done and what things do you simply want to get done? Use this time to plan how you will spend your time and evaluate what things may not be as important as you once thought they were.

3. Go outside!

Now is the time for “Fall clean up” in your yard. Stay on top of that yard work so you don’t have extra to do next Spring. Keep your driveway and curbs clear of leaves and other fallen debris. Enjoy the weather! If you’ll be expecting a snowy winter, now’s the time to get the last minute “outdoor time” before the cold sets in.

Remember to say thank you to your garbage workers who will be picking up all that yard waste and house waste from your cleaning efforts.

From all of us at National Garbage Man Day, have a great Autumn!
