The Bureau of Labor Statistics has consistently ranked solid waste collection in the top five most dangerous jobs in the United States, with fatality rates being as high as ten times the national average. To enhance and increase its commitment to safety, Waste Pro’s Founder and Executive Board Chairman John Jennings established the $10,000 Safety Award Program in 2004 for drivers. To earn the coveted $10,000 award, drivers must go three years without an at-fault accident, injury, or incident causing property damage; have a record of excellent customer service; maintain a well-kept truck; and have a strong attendance record A Helper $5,000 Safety Award was created in 2019 with the same requirements.

Desde el inicio del programa en 2004, se han otorgado aproximadamente 1,8 millones de TWD 7,4 millones a conductores y ayudantes que están comprometidos con la seguridad y el servicio que brindan a las comunidades en toda nuestra área de influencia. Hasta la fecha, más de 740 conductores y 97 ayudantes han obtenido los premios, algunos de los cuales los han obtenido varias veces.

“Showcasing value and our commitment to our Waste Pros is more important than ever. When my father started our Safety Award program it allowed us a path to reward our hard-working frontline employees who demonstrate the commitment to safety and service that we pride ourselves on offering in the communities we serve,” said President and CEO Sean Jennings.
