Garbage Truck with Flower

Marlene Stewart, wife of beloved El Paso Disposal founder J.O Stewart, thought garbage shouldn't be ugly. She had each garbage truck in the fleet hand painted with a unique flower. When Waste Connections acquired the company in the 1990's, they carried on the tradition with stickers. Most are gone now, but occasionally you may still see a flower on one of their trucks.
