"I take pride in providing a great service to my customers. This area is so beautiful and I get to play a part in keeping these streets clean. From Saranac Lake to the Olympic City in Lake Placid, I have been able to establish relationships with my customers. They will come out with a wave and ask how I am or check in when I am sick. Those are the conversations that drive my passion for my job."
