Waste Pro, Longwood, Florida, announced that four of the company’s collection truck drivers in its Jonesboro, Arkansas, division have won the company’s $10,000 Safety Award. Scott Greenwood, Steve Wheeler, Randy Brandon and Donnie Galbreath have been part of the Jonesboro division since local family-owned company Downum’s Waste Services joined Waste Pro in 2016.
The four drivers were recognized for their safety achievements in December during an awards ceremony where they were each provided with a check corresponding with the award.
Waste Pro established the $10,000 Safety Award program in 2004 to encourage safe driving and cut back on accidents. Since then, Waste Pro has awarded more than $4.6 million to drivers across the Southeast.
To be eligible for the award, drivers must maintain a spotless work record for three years, this includes providing excellent customer service; causing no accidents, injuries or property damage; exhibiting a positive attitude; having a strong attendance record; and keeping and a well-kept truck.
