White Plains, AL (April 24, 2025) – Meridian Waste brought big excitement to White Plains Elementary School during its Touch-A-Truck event, where Commercial Manager Nick Walker took on the role of “Trash Teacher.” Students got an up-close look at a brand-new Meridian Waste front-load truck—commonly used to collect commercial dumpsters from local businesses.

The highlight of the day? The “trash-eating monster” in action! The students were thrilled, and Meridian Waste was proud to share its mission of environmental responsibility while inspiring the next generation to help protect Mother Earth.
