Local Waste Management employees worked their routes the Wednesday before Valentine’s Day in festive fashion, decorating their trucks with heart adornments and handing out chocolates to anyone who crossed their 6 a.m. paths.

“Our drivers serve thousands of residents in Federal Way every day, and we wanted to take this Valentine’s Day as a chance to say ‘thank you’ to all of the residents who have allowed us to be a part of their communities,” said Waste Management Senior District Manager Marc Davis. “Turning the trucks into mobile valentines is a small way of showing our appreciation.”
