OPINION: Margate’s garbage collectors are unsung heros

Here are three ideas to show your appreciation towards the garbage collectors.

As I reflect on the blessings in my life, I am reminded of the often overlooked heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our community clean and healthy.

I am talking about our garbage collectors, those who dedicate themselves to collecting our waste every week in Margate.

These hardworking individuals deserve our gratitude and appreciation for their selfless service.

They brave the elements, navigate through narrow streets, and lift heavy bins/bags to ensure that our trash is collected efficiently.

Their dedication to their work is truly commendable, and it’s time we show them that we care.

In Margate, our residential kerb-side garbage is collected weekly.

Our garbage collectors work diligently to ensure that our streets are clean and free of litter.

So, how can we show our appreciation?

Here are a few ideas:

Take a moment to thank them for their hard work. A kind word can go a long way in brightening their day.

Consider leaving a small gift, such as a box of treats or a cold drink, to show your appreciation. It’s a thoughtful gesture that can bring a smile to their face.

Write a heartfelt note or draw a picture to express your gratitude. It’s a personal touch that can make a big difference.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the important work that our garbage collectors do.

They are the unsung heroes of our community.
