“At County Waste, an important part of our mission is to engage with and contribute to the communitie­s we serve and are part of,” said Mark Ceresa, Division Vice President of County Waste. “Our team is pleased to provide holiday cheer to 300 children this season and we look forward to continuing this tradition in the future.”

“In the season of giving, we are honored to take a moment to make an impact on a child’s holiday,” said Rohannah Abzal, Office Manager at County Waste.

“Our employees are members of the communitie­s we serve, and we’re proud to help our neighbors and work with so many community partners to help us make wishes come true.” every year, County Waste employees take time to assemble and deliver bikes to fulfill this annual promise.
