HOUSTON – Davis, 2, is obsessed with garbage trucks and the men who drive them.
When waste collection company Republic Services learned the young Willowbend boy has leukemia and is undergoing chemotherapy, they gave him a special tour of their trucks.
And in December, the little boy’s pals at Republic Services drove the extra mile, so to speak – They surprised Davis with a Christmas garbage truck parade. A fleet of trash collectors dressed in their holiday best rolled down Davis’ block and delivered gifts. Wearing a Republic Services beanie and sitting beside a toy garbage truck, Davis waved and watched in wonder as the big blue trucks drove down his street.
