Collection workers from GFL's solid waste team in Toronto surprised young garbage truck fan Wolfgang Reader for his third birthday. During lockdown, Wolfgang got to know the GFL team that continued to service his street each week, and they became each other’s heroes.
Wolfy's quarantine birthday surprise ... gifts, music, and toy garbage trucks from Drew and DJ - the men who pick up the garbage on Wolfy's street every Friday. For his 3rd birthday, he could invite a friend or two for cake, without hesitation, he said “Drew and DJ”. 💚
