Coloring Contest Winner Visits the Jax Facility with a Special Touch-A-Truck Tour

featured in Community, Facilities, and Team

Elijah Harris, age 8, of Jacksonville, Fla., won 3rd place in our "Brightening the World" Earth Day Coloring Contest and was treated to a special tour of the facility and a tour of the big rigs!

Elijah brought his brother, mother, and friends on a special tour of the Meridian Waste Jacksonville Hauling facility. The group toured the facility to see how it runs from the front office through loading a trash cart into a rear load garbage truck (the type often seen on residential routes in YOUR neighborhood!).

Chief Marketing Officer Mary O'Brien, General Manager Jon Hipp, Operations Manager Ricky Rochester, and Maintenence Manager Adam Foltz from Meridian Waste were on-hand for tours and are pictured in our gallery below. Special guests: Claire and Ellie Perkins, Kim, Luke, and Elijah Harris.
