featured in Team

Milestones like this don’t come around often. This year, we’re proud to recognize Jessica Stooksbury’s 20-year anniversary as Office Manager supporting Meridian Waste’s Knoxville operations.

Over the years, Jessica has played an important role across both hauling and landfill operations, helping keep day-to-day administrative functions running smoothly. Her work supports teams in the field and behind the scenes, ensuring organization, communication, and consistency across the operation.

Jessica’s long tenure reflects her dedication to the people she works with and the pride she takes in her role. Her experience and steady presence have been a valuable constant for the Knoxville team.

Celebrating milestones like this is a reminder that strong operations are built by people who show up every day, take ownership of their work, and support those around them.

Congratulations, Jessica, and thank you for 20 years of service with Meridian Waste in Knoxville.
