During this pandemic, many businesses are stepping forward to show extra appreciation for their frontline workers. In the trash collection industry, employees around the country havepushed for hazard pay and personal protection equipment (PPE) to stay safe.
Republic Services is buying thousands of takeout restaurant meals for its frontline employees, the folks who do all the trash collection in the Treasure Valley. This program is also aimed at helping area restaurants struggling during the crisis. Joining Idaho Matters live today to talk more about this initiative is Rachele Klein, the business development manager for Republic Services.
