Thank You, Corpus Christi Waste & Recycling Heroes This week, the City of Corpus Christi proudly recognizes National Waste and Recycling Workers Week, a time dedicated to honoring the essential men and women who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our community clean, healthy, and beautiful.
Proclamation by Mayor Paulette Guajardo
Today, Mayor Paulette Guajardo issued an official proclamation celebrating the hard-working professionals of the Corpus Christi Solid Waste Department. These dedicated workers collect, manage, and process our waste and recyclables every day—rain or shine—ensuring our neighborhoods stay safe and our environment stays protected.
From early-morning routes to complex recycling operations, they handle the materials we all generate with professionalism and care. Their efforts reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and help make Corpus Christi a cleaner, more sustainable place to live.
