A little boy who LOVES Republic Services recently celebrated his sixth birthday with a big surprise from our Henderson Operations Team. “Oh my goodness, was he surprised. He came out on his porch with his mom and dad, all wearing Republic Services shirts, and this little boy jumped up and down for about two minutes with a huge smile on his face. We presented him with a few Republic Services gifts and he even got to blow the horn and sit inside one of our trucks. He was beyond happy!” said Steve O., Manager, Community Relations.
The birthday party featured a custom designed Republic Services wall hanging, a replica truck, and a cake with a truck on it. And as if that was not enough, a video of a Republic Services truck on route played on a loop on the TV. It was an all-out Republic Services themed party, and our team showing up made it extra special. The father of the little boy said, “It made my son’s 6th birthday so amazing. He was so excited and he will forever cherish this birthday for years to come.”
“To think of the tremendous impact our drivers have on the lives of so many little boys and girls can never be underestimated. I am just so grateful that I work for such an amazing company, with such amazing people, and that today, we were able to create a memory of a lifetime for a very happy little boy and his family,” Steve said.
The birthday party was highlighted on Channel 3’s “Best of the Weekend” segment.
