ADMINISTRATOR CRITICAL INFORMATION REPORT
Date: 8/19/24
Specifics of Event:
- 11:00 am Investigator Gonzalez received a service request from Waste Management (WM) stating that the customer Bill Mueller at 239-732-7393 stated that he had a washer out for pick up and his trash bin. He had the trash next to the washer. He had the trash about three feet away from the mailbox and a foot away from the washer. Customer states that the trash truck hit his mailbox and it is now on the ground.
- 1:00 pm Gonzalez made a site visit and spoke with Bill who stated that he did not see the mailbox getting hit by a WM truck, but he stated that he put his trash cart next to it at 8 am and when he came back at 10:30 am the mailbox it was already down on the floor. Gonzalez observed the mailbox on the floor but did not see any damage consistent with WM trucks no green or black paint on the mailbox or any tire marks and looked like it had fallen before, and they tried to repair it. Gonzalez requested GPS and video proof from the WM trucks from all route managers.
- 3:08 pm Gonzalez received all WM trucks’ GPS that serviced that street and based on the video proof of the trucks it appears that the mailbox was already damaged before any truck serviced his house.
- 3:34 pm Gonzalez called Bill and left him a voicemail advising him that based on the evidence that WM has provided and based on observations we have concluded that WM is not responsible for damaging his mailbox.
- 3:53 pm Gonzalez forwarded the report to all route managers at WM.

Date: 8/29/24
Specifics of Event:
- 2:34 PM Joe received an email from Waste Management stating that one of their trucks had driven over the grass on Everett Street.
- 2:49 PM Joe arrived at the location on Everett Street and observed WM truck number 314237 parked across from 6059 Everett Street. Joe saw WM manager Emilio speaking with the driver while taking pictures.
- 2:53 PM Joe briefly discussed the incident with Emilio, who explained that the driver had been trying to make room for an oncoming vehicle and, in doing so, moved closer to the edge of the street, causing the truck to run over the grass.
- 2:59 PM Joe observed that the Waste Management truck’s tire had damaged the grass along the edge, covering about 14 yards in length and 1 yard in width.
- 3:08 PM Joe called Marcelo, the Waste Management claim and compliance officer, to inform him of the situation. Marcelo stated that he would be on his way to inspect the damage but mentioned that any action would depend on the property owner’s decision.
