Community Happenings

Meridian Waste Virginia (formerly Container First Services), an integrated, non-hazardous solid waste services company, has made a $5000 donation to assist with maintaining water connectivity for the City of Petersburg residents in peril.

Container First Services (CFS) donated $4000 to help the Dance Life Company with their operational expenses due to revenue losses associated with COVID-19 business-related closures and the Governor’s stay-at-home executive order.   Both the Dance Life Company and CFS are located in Petersburg and are committed to providing opportunity and support to their Petersburg community.

What a delightful, and SWEET, thank you note left for Wentzville route driver Scott Helmer.

A customer posted their photo to a Lincoln County Missouri Facebook page sharing their thanks for a Meridian Waste frontline worker going above and beyond the call of duty.

The president mentioned the vital work of frontline workers, including solid waste and recycling workers, during his March 31 COVID-19 media briefing.
