“Waste Connections is full of HEROS! We are proud to recognize Omar Rosales Mendez, a driver with our team in Manassas, Virginia, for his heroic efforts while on route. During his shift, Omar noticed a man lying face down in the street. Omar sprung into action and immediately called 911. He waited with the man until an ambulance arrived. The gentleman had a severe head injury that was resulting in brain swelling. Without Omar’s help, this may not have survived. Omar said, “I think anyone would have done the same thing. This is what we learn and what we do.” We are proud to have such a safety-conscious and selfless person on our team. Congratulations and thank you for stepping up! #togetherwearebetter #wasteconnectionsproud #wasteconnectionscares #wasteandrecycling #somuchmorethantrash #safetyfirst #wctogetherwearebetter
