If you're at the Dump this weekend and spot Facility Manager Justin Hagge scurrying about, take a moment to thank him for his many contributions to Lopez Solid Waste! Next week, Justin will be leaving his position at LSWDD to join Lopez Fire & EMS full-time. While we're sad to see him go, we know he'll be right down the street — and we're very grateful for his continued commitment to the Lopez community.
"The song that best fits Justin is the Beach Boys' 'I Get Around'—he's constantly on the move, making sure all is operating smoothly and helping volunteers with whatever we need," said John Trench, an LSWDD board member who volunteers on-site every weekend.
"My volunteer shift is always fun, but Justin made it even better. He's always smiling, welcoming and enthusiastic. If I had recycling question, he had the answer and more."
After Justin's departure, we're excited to welcome Operations Assistant Sean Nolan as our new Facility Manager. Sean does a lot for the Dump, from the booth and behind the scenes, and it'll be great to have him at the helm!
If you have any questions about this transition, don't hesitate to reach out. If you want to get involved at the Dump, we have lots of volunteer opportunities! Email Sarah Reeves, Volunteer Coordinator, at sarahdr@lopezsolidwaste.org.
