Sanitation workers are part of the backbone of city infrastructure, and they often do not receive the recognition or appreciation they deserve. But for one family in Plano, that’s not the case.
For their child, the arrival of the neighborhood sanitation worker is something to look forward to.
Recently the worker gifted the child with an official City of Plano Garbage Can Piggy Bank, and it has become a prized possession.
With this Halloween season, city administrators got quite the surprise on Facebook as well as a special letter from the childs mother. It seems that while many kids will emulate their favorite superheros, military figures, ghosts, beasts and monsters of all sorts, one child wanted to represent his favorite city employee.
Hello,
I want to share a story and recognize one of your great employees.
Every Monday when my 2 year old son Lance hears the garbage truck, we have to stop eating breakfast and run to the alley so he can watch the garbage truck.
He’s obsessed.
After several Monday’s of seeing my son in the alley, our nice garbage man James, (I haven’t gotten his last name), got out to talk to him. Now he frequently stops at our house to say hello. It makes my sons day to see him and his truck. Today he brought my son a City of Plano garbage can piggy bank.
He hasn’t put it down all day.
So for this Halloween, Lance got to dress up as his friend James.
I just wanted to acknowledge James for taking the time out of his busy day to make a little two year old boy happy. It is so kind of him.
Thanks for reading.
