Honor the Heroes Behind the Trash

This week marks Waste and Recycling Workers Week, a time to honor the unsung heroes who keep our communities clean—working dawn to dusk in all weather, handling trash, recycling, and bulky items. Their labor protects public health, reduces environmental harm, and keeps neighborhoods looking great. In Statesville, the Solid Waste Services team operates year-round, braving heat, cold, and storms to ensure services never miss a beat. The city invites residents to share stories of appreciation for workers who’ve made a difference—whether through a friendly wave or going the extra mile—and will spotlight these heroes during the week.
