During one of their routine garbage collection routes, the Solid Waste Collection Team encountered something extraordinary. A pet snake. So what did they do with the discarded reptile? They put the ball python, habitat and all, in the passenger seat and finished their route.
They continued throughout the Urban Services District, picking up garbage, recycling, and yard waste. As word spread among their colleagues about the non-venomous viper, these dedicated employees sprang into action to find a new home for the unwanted serpent.
Several staff members are reptile lovers and owners, and they were able to find it a fresh new abode. “It’s all in a day’s work,” they said.
