To the editor:

It was recycling day for my neighborhood this morning, so I placed my dumpster out the night before. I knew we had several inches of snow in the forecast and didn’t want to drag the dumpster out over the snow in the morning. Through the night we received at least 5 inches of snow.

When I looked out the window in the morning to see the snow amount, I noticed the snow plows had knocked the recycling dumpster over on its side, not all the way over but at least half over. My first thought was that the recycling truck would pass it by if it wasn’t straight up and down.

Before I had a chance to get out and get the dumpster straight I hear the dumpster truck stop. So, I watched as the driver attempted to pick up the dumpster with no luck. Thinking that was it for the attempt and away he would drive. But no, he parked the truck got out, slugged through the heavy snow on the shoulder of the road and set the dumpster up right and got back into his truck and made a clean pickup and dump.

Thank you to this city worker; you put a smile on my face and made it a very good day.

Keep up the good work.
