LONGWOOD, FL – January 21, 2025 – Waste Pro is projecting that 2026 will be the biggest year yet for the company’s prestigious Safety Award Program. The company anticipates it will award $2 million this year in Safety Awards to eligible drivers and helpers. The program underscores the company’s appreciation for frontline workers’ dedication and commitment to safety. To earn Waste Pro’s coveted Safety Award, employees must exhibit the Waste Pro Way in their daily actions and meet safety-specific criteria over three years. Eligible drivers receive a $10,000 award and eligible helpers receive a similar $5,000 award.
Waste Pro’s founder and Executive Board Chairman, John Jennings, established the Safety Award Program to reinforce the company’s safety-first culture and to showcase the importance of keeping safety a daily top priority. Sean Jennings, John’s son, has maintained and enhanced the company’s commitment to its people since taking over as President and CEO in 2020. To date, the company has awarded nearly $10.5 million in Safety Awards to eligible drivers and helpers since the program began in 2004. Sean shares, “Through the Safety Award Program, we maintain our commitment to being a people-first company that prioritizes safety. Our Waste Pros are the backbone of the company’s success and we want to honor their commitment to living the Waste Pro Way each day, putting safety first.”
Waste Pro’s Vice President of Safety and Risk Romeo Vellutini shares that “Waste Pro’s safety performance improved once again in 2025, and I am pleased to see more repeat winners each year. With over $2 million allocated to the program in 2026, I am confident that our continued focus on mentorship and regular coaching will result in more drivers and helpers earning the reward this year.”
