Thank you notes, small gifts and free lunch are just some of the ways the local Darke County community has shown team members at Rumpke Waste & Recycling how much they appreciate their efforts to keep businesses and neighborhoods clean and green during the pandemic. “The outpouring of support, we continue to see is heartwarming,” said Rumpke Region Manager Noel Moomey. “It is almost a daily occurrence that a driver comes in with a care package from a customer or a thank you note.”
Moomey mentioned that the team was especially appreciative of businesses providing lunch for the team. The Greenville Domino’s location provided pizza, as part of the pizza chain’s Feed the Need campaign. Earlier in the month, Tribute Funeral Home partnered with BMF Fitness in Greenville to purchase pizza, chips and water for Rumpke drivers.
“We perform an essential service,” Moomey said. “Proper trash collection is vital to protecting human health. Our team is on the front lines working to keep our customers safe, and it feels really good to be appreciated for our important role we play in society.”
