A London-based waste management company is offering another way for the public to show gratitude to frontline workers who are putting themselves at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
TRY Recycling has developed a large heart decal that can be placed on vehicles or front doors that reads "frontline workers are the HEART of our community." All TRY Recycling and Better Bin Company vehicles have already been outfitted with the new decals and the company is now offering them for free to the rest of the community.
The company typically crafts decals once a year that promote recycling, but decided to make the switch this year to salute frontline workers due to the global outbreak.
"The work and workers we’re tipping our hats to have been thrust into the spotlight because of this pandemic, but the truth is they’re out there every day making our lives better and contributing to a quality of life that we’ve become accustomed to," said TRY Recycling President Jim Graham. "The COVID-19 crisis has put them center stage, but if we’re to learn valuable lessons from what we’re experiencing now – we need to remember and acknowledge the value of those we often take for granted."
Anyone interested in picking up one of the decals can do so at TRY Recycling's Clarke Road and Dingman Drive locations in London and at the St. Thomas Enviro Depot.
The decals have already been so popular TRY is producing 1,000 more to be distributed throughout the region, Graham added.
