Our sincerest thanks go out to all those working hard to collect our trash and recycling.
Sanitation Worker Support Fund
To help support sanitation workers and their families, we worked with SWANA to create the Sanitation Worker Support Fund.
The fund provides financial assistance to sanitation collection workers impacted by COVID-19. If you’re a front-line sanitation collection worker who’s tested positive for COVID-19, experienced a related job loss, or if you’re an immediate family member of a sanitation collection worker who has sadly passed away from the virus, please visit our funding application.
