Members of the Fairfield History Club observed Essential Worker Appreciation Day on March 16, providing sanitation worker Richard Taylor (center) with a token of their appreciation and a certificate of recognition for his outstanding commitment. Taylor has been employed by Waste Connections for the past seven years and has faithfully assisted in collecting recycling donations for the Fairfield High School’s free Community Recycling Program.
“He’s amazing. Richard always jumps in to help with whatever we need and is happy and welcoming to everyone. We are fortunate to have him,” stated project coordinator Nicole Crawford.
Essential workers include healthcare workers, first responders, grocery store employees, delivery drivers, sanitation workers, childcare providers, mass transit personnel, and many more who play crucial roles in our society and are essential to any economy.
Fairfield History Club, a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, has supported this project since its beginning as part of the club’s environmental focus.
Extending their gratitude to Taylor are (l-r): Nicole Crawford, Sissy Ivy, Lisa Baggerly, and Doris Sneed.
