Safety
The safety and welfare of our employees and the citizens of the communities we serve are vitally important to Athens. In fact, employee and citizen safety is our first priority. In addition to maintaining safe, reliable equipment, all employees receive thorough, continuous on-the-job safety training.

Planning for safety and health is an important part of each department manager's job. Athens' corporate philosophy dictates that safety and health be a part of every business decision including purchasing, engineering, changes in work processes, and planning for potential emergencies.

Training is a very important element of such a program. This aspect of our program brings new ideas into the workplace, re-emphasizes safe prac­tices, and helps to put other elements of our total safety program into action.

Athens commitment for ensuring that employees comply with safety and healthy work practices are discussed during the safety orientation and throughout the year at weekly meetings. Our employees benefit from safety and health training through fewer work-related injuries and illnesses, reduced stress and worry caused by exposure to hazards.

Community Involvement
Since the beginning, we have given back to the local communities we serve through supporting local service organizations, events, and projects.

Athens' mini-trash-truck is a favorite with children at parades and festivals throughout the San Gabriel Valley. The mini-truck, “Mighty Mike,” in conjunction with the Company's recycling display and information booth, help residents and businesses to recognize ways to help improve our environment.

Hazardous Waste
To avoid an interruption of your service, please do not place hazardous materials into your trash.  Most paints, pesticides, and petroleum derivatives such as motor oil and solvents are considered hazardous wastes. Additionally, electronic waste such as fluorescent tubes, all batteries, televisions, computer monitors, and other items containing mercury are no longer allowed in your trash.   Tires are also not allowed in the trash.  State and Federal laws require special handling for these wastes and there are periodic L.A. County Hazardous Waste Roundups and Used Oil Collection Centers for proper disposal of hazardous materials. For more details, please call the HAZWASTE HOTLINE at (888) CLEAN-LA. 
If hazardous waste is identified, it will be tagged and not collected.
