Bahamas Waste has launched a month-long social media campaign in a bid to place the spotlight on its hard-working garbage technicians.
Using the US idea of 'National Garbage Man Day', which is held annually on June 17, the competition allows community members to vote for their favourite technician by posting a picture of them, or with them, with the #MyGarabageTech.
"We've really tried to provide our customers with the best possible services," said Francisco DeCardenas, Bahamas Waste's managing director. "We've become known recently for our specialty trucks, which help raise awareness about the many charitable organisations we've partnered with, but none of that would be possible without the commitment of our techs."
"In the waste management business there's a saying: 'It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it!'," added Mr DeCardenas. "That's been our mantra for the past many years, and that somebody has been our garbage technicians, who are not afraid to get their hands dirty so that our communities can stay clean, which is so important to our tourist-based economy."
All entries must be submitted before July 12, and are limited to one per person.
"What we hope is that this competition will give our customers a chance to get to know their drivers and techs," said Ethelyn Davies, operations manager.
"We often hear from customers when they need our help, or have additional pick up requirements. It will be interesting to see which of our techs have made an impression. I am pleased we are choosing to recognise the work which our garbage men do every day".
