It was an ordinary day for Residential Recycling Driver Geoffrey T. as he was servicing a neighborhood in Loganville, Georgia, until he witnessed a life-threatening emergency. A resident, Tabitha, was exiting her SUV when the vehicle unexpectedly began to roll, pinning her beneath the wheel. Without hesitation, Geoffrey and his helper immediately sprang into action and were able to lift the vehicle just enough to pull the resident to safety and stayed by her side until emergency services arrived.
Tabitha sustained serious injuries, including multiple broken bones, a punctured lung, and fractured vertebrae. According to her doctors, if Geoffrey hadn’t responded as quickly and bravely as he did, Tabitha likely would not have survived. She has since been released from the hospital and is now on the road to recovery.
Geoffrey was recognized by his team in Atlanta North with a lunch in his honor. The biggest thank you came from Tabitha who was eager to attend the event and personally thank Geoffrey for saving her life.
