Our Austin, Texas team got to surprise this little guy, Julien, with a trash truck, swag bag, and to see one of his favorite drivers today. A few weeks ago while at a park, Julien took it upon himself to go around and pick up all the trash and put it in the trash cans. For his efforts, he was shown appreciation at the city council meeting today. Nash is his favorite driver and they have met a few times on route so it was huge for Julien to have her show up and give him the swag bag. These are the best events to be a part of!
