Safety First in Sundown, Texas


Residential Driver Cindy C. services the City of Sundown in the early morning hours, often before the sun is up. Recently on her route, she passed the high school track team on the road’s shoulder and noticed that the runners were not very visible in the pre-dawn darkness. Concerned for their safety, Cindy took it upon herself to partner with the school and donate 30 high visibility vests from Republic Services to keep the track team safe. City and school officials were appreciative that Cindy went above and beyond to make sure everyone is safe on the road. “It makes my job a bit easier having the kids wearing high-vis vests to make sure I see them, and they see me,” Cindy said.

Great job, Cindy! Thank you for caring about your community and putting safety first!
