Kentucky Garbage Man Hadn't Seen Elderly Woman's Trash Can Out, Rightly Felt Something Was Amiss.
Jake Bland has dual roles at his job at Hometown Hauling, a refuse collection company in Louisville, Kentucky.
He’s the operations manager and he’s also on the truck picking up his customers trash.
He noticed that one of those on his route, an elderly single woman, hadn’t put out her trash for two weeks...he felt...he knew...that something just wasn’t right. So instead of just moving along without a second thought, he called his dispatcher, Bernice Arthur, and voiced his concerns.
She called the 90 year old customer and was relieved that she answered the phone, but was heartbroken when she found out why she hadn’t taken out her trash.
She didn’t have any.
Said Bernice, "She just didn't have anything to eat….and that's why she had no trash to put out there."
For over two weeks, because her caregiver quit over pandemic fears, she had no way to get food or even leave the house, as she is wheelchair bound.
And she ran out of food.
Ten days before.
