Ross companies participate in Eaton Township’s “Dumpster Days” event

Ross associates volunteered their time on a chilly October day to accept household hazardous waste from the Eaton Township community – a longstanding initiative that saw an increase in participation this year.

Eaton Township’s “Dumpster Days” event was held Oct. 1. Community members were free to use township services to discard trash, debris or unwanted furniture. Ross associates were on hand to accept potentially harmful substances like paint, pool chemicals, motor oil and pesticides. Substances were then disposed of with the proper care.

The Ross companies have participated in the event since 1993 and delivery numbers continue to rebound from the pandemic-level lows. Associates accepted 83 deliveries in 2022 compared to 73 the year before. Delivery numbers are indicative of pre-pandemic levels.

“We’ve participated in Eaton Township’s Dumpster Days for so many years,” said Pat Lawson, Vice President of Corporate Risk and Compliance. “.  We have a great time interacting with our Eaton Township neighbors and doing something beneficial for the community and our environment.”
