Today we celebrate World Health Day, observed each year on April 7 to honor the founding of the World Health Organization. This day serves as a global reminder that taking care of our health means nurturing our physical, mental, and social well‑being. 🌍💚

It’s an opportunity to slow down, check in with ourselves, and prioritize habits that help us feel our best. It also encourages us to support healthier workplaces and communities, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Let’s use today to recommit to small, meaningful choices that strengthen our overall well‑being and create a healthier future for all.
Happy World Health Day!

Ever wondered what happens to your trash after our truck drives away? 🚛♻️
Here’s a quick look at the journey your waste takes after collection:

Happy Valentine's Day! Most Valentine’s Day candy boxes are made from paperboard or cardboard, both of which are recyclable in most of our service areas. To ensure materials are processed properly, please remove any non‑recyclable components, such as plastic trays, wrappers, ribbons, or metallic coatings before placing the box into your recycling cart. Clean, dry cardboard helps maintain the quality of the recycling stream and supports the creation of new, reusable materials.

By recycling your Valentine’s Day packaging, you help reduce waste, conserve resources, and support Waste Connections’ ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship. Small actions like these add up across our communities, helping create a cleaner, more sustainable future for everyone.

As February begins, we enter a time of reflection and appreciation during Black History Month. This important observance honors the profound contributions and sacrifices of African Americans throughout history. Let us come together to use this month as an opportunity to deepen understanding, foster empathy, and celebrate the communities we serve and the colleagues we work alongside each day.
