Last week, Waste Management (WM) trained more than 200 drivers in Lee and Collier Counties under its Waste Watch program, the company’s community safety program.
Through this program, WM drivers act as an extra set of eyes and ears for local law enforcement, fire department and emergency services, and report emergencies or any suspicious activity that may take place during their routes.
As members of the very communities they serve, Waste Management drivers are familiar with their routes and are good candidates to spot anything that’s out of the ordinary, especially when they are trained on what to look for.
