Today, our family and team are attending the funeral of James “Jimmy” Joseph Foley, Ashley’s beloved grandpa. Jim proudly served our country in the United States Army and lived a life full of faith, family, laughter, and love. He was known for his quick wit, kind heart, and unwavering pride in his Irish roots. Most of all, he was a devoted husband, father, grandpa, and great-grandpa who never missed a chance to tell his family how much he loved them. Due to the funeral, some of our customers may experience a short delay in service for Wednesday, October 15. Our office will be closed for the day. If there’s anything you need, please send an email and we will be trying to check that regularly. We appreciate your understanding as we take this time to honor a wonderful man and support our family. Rest peacefully, Jim. Thank you for your service and for the example you left behind.

We’re more than just a trash company — we’re a tight-knit, veteran-owned, community-minded family that works hard and takes care of each other. Right now, we’re looking for a new teammate to step into the role of Sanitation Engineer (a.k.a. local hero who keeps our neighborhoods clean and safe ✨).

Why You’ll Love It Here:
• Four-day work week (hello, 3-day weekends 🙌)
• Paid holidays to spend with your family
• 401k so you can plan for your future
• Supportive team that treats you like family, not just a number

What We’re Looking For:
• Someone with great customer service skills
• Ability to lift 50 pounds and keep moving
• A good driving record and chauffeur’s license
• A positive attitude, even when Michigan weather throws us a curveball 🌧❄️☀️

💵 Pay starts at $18–20/hour based on experience — and no CDL is required!

At Tactical Trashout, we believe in working hard, taking care of our neighbors, and having a little fun along the way. If you want to be part of something bigger than just a job, we’d love to hear from you!

It may be a little windy tomorrow 👀💨

Extra, extra, the follower-favorite trash can wind-o-meter is back! The meter will be working hard, especially on Friday as wind gusts of 40-50 mph are likely statewide, primarily in the Lower Peninsula. These winds may carry your trash cans through Mary's yard and down the road a ways!

Use this as your sign to get those lighter outdoor objects packed away before Friday. We may also see some gusts of 20-30 mph on Thursday. Our wind gust map will be released next here at MSC, so come back this afternoon for the full map, or check it out right now over on our Patreon page!
