Specifics of Event

At 11:00 a.m., Investigator Joe received a service request from Waste Management stating that a customer, Bill Molly (239-272-222), reported that his washer was out for pickup along with his trash bin. He placed the trash about three feet from his mailbox and one foot away from the washer. Bill claimed that the trash truck hit his mailbox, which is now on the ground.

At 1:00 p.m., Joe visited the site and spoke with Bill, who mentioned that he did not witness the mailbox being hit by the Waste Management truck.

Joe observed the mailbox lying on the ground but found no damage consistent with a Waste Management truck—there were no green or black paint marks, tire tracks, or other evidence. It appeared that the mailbox had fallen previously and had been repaired. Joe requested GPS and video footage from Waste Management trucks from all route managers.

At 3:08 p.m., Joe received GPS data from Waste Management for the trucks that serviced the street. Based on the video footage, it was determined that the mailbox was already damaged before any trucks serviced the area.

At 3:00 p.m., Joe visited the site, knocked on the door, but received no answer. Joe called the customer, who stated that he did not witness the truck hitting the mailbox. The customer mentioned that his son, who had been living in the house before the incident, had placed the trash cart near the mailbox. When the son returned, the mailbox was already on the ground. The customer advised that any further information regarding the mailbox should be directed to his son, who must be contacted for further details. Joe observed the mailbox lying on the ground but noted no damage consistent with a Waste Management truck. There were no green or black paint marks on the mailbox, no tire tracks, or other evidence suggesting a truck was involved.

At 4:00 p.m., Joe called Marcelo to inform him about the complaint but was unable to reach him and left a voicemail.

At 8:50 a.m. the next day, Marcelo returned the call and stated that based on the available evidence, it was determined that the mailbox was already damaged before any trucks serviced the area.

Joe has requested GPS and video footage from Waste Management managers. He also called the customer and left a voicemail requesting a return call.

Based on the evidence and observations, it appears that Waste Management is not responsible for damaging the mailbox. Joe is currently awaiting GPS data and video footage from Waste Management to continue the investigation.

Joe contacted her directly and explained he would address the issue the following day due to time constraints. As promised, Joe visited the next day, replaced the cart, and the customer was very pleased with the resolution.

FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION

Joe conducted a follow-up site inspection at 228 Fox Glen Dr to assess the hydraulic leak stains on the street. Joe observed that the marks remained visible and walked the entire length of the affected area to ensure a thorough evaluation. After careful inspection, it was clear that the stains had not fully disappeared.

HOLLIDAY MANOR

12:40 p.m. Joe received an email from customer service reporting that Waste Management trash truck number 363760 was leaking a liquid in the Holiday Manor community.

1:00 p.m. Joe arrived at 213 Redwood Lane, where he observed the Waste Management truck parked. Joe spoke with the driver, Augustine Azahares, who explained that liquid sometimes leaks from the bottom of the truck when the trash is compressed, but everything else with the truck was functioning normally.

1:19 p.m. Joe called Emilio to report the situation. Emilio immediately provided the truck’s GPS location and advised Joe to check the liquid to ensure it was not hydraulic fluid or coolant. Emilio noted that he would either release the driver or send him to the shop depending on Joe’s findings.

1:24 p.m. After thoroughly inspecting the leak, Joe confirmed that the liquid was trash-related and was released when the waste was compressed.

1:30 p.m. Joe concluded that the liquid was indeed from the compressed trash and allowed the driver to continue.

2:00 p.m. Joe called Marcelo to inform him of the liquid leak. Marcelo responded that he would visit the location to inspect the liquid and assess the situation.

2:30 p.m. Joe continued to drive within the community, using the GPS coordinates sent by Emilio to check for additional spill areas.

Incident Summary Report

Joe received an email from customer service indicating that a customer, Shelby Douche, called to report Waste Management truck #363-760 leaking a bluish liquid onto the streets of Holiday Manor Community.

1:00 p.m.
Joe contacted Emilio Meadow, a Waste Management route manager, requesting the truck’s precise location. Emilio promptly replied, sharing the truck’s exact position at the end of Redwood Lane, along with GPS coordinates.

1:05 p.m.
Joe arrived at 213 Redwood Lane, where he located the truck. He spoke with the driver, Augustine Azaria, who explained that he had noticed liquid dripping from the truck’s tailgate when compressing garbage. To demonstrate, Augustine started the truck, compressed the garbage, and showed how the liquid dripped.

1:30 p.m.
After a thorough examination, Joe confirmed that the liquid appeared to be trash-related, released during garbage compression. Joe determined that it was indeed waste liquid and allowed the driver to continue the route, after coordinating with Emilio.

2:00 p.m.
Joe contacted Marcelo Medius, the Claims and Compliance Officer at Waste Management, to inform him of the liquid leak. Marcelo responded that he was en route to the location for inspection.

2:30 p.m.
Using the GPS coordinates provided by Emilio, Joe continued driving through the community to check for any further spills.

3:45 p.m.
A resident, identified as “My Dude” at 239-745-2393, stopped Joe and reported seeing the Waste Management truck leaking bluish liquid throughout the community earlier. The resident invited Joe onto a golf cart to show the locations along Palm Drive where he had observed the leaks. After evaluating this new leak, Joe observed that this liquid appeared to be hydraulic fluid, distinctly different from the previous garbage liquid.

4:15 p.m.
Joe documented hydraulic leaks observed on the following streets:

  1. Palm Drive
  2. Oaks Lane
  3. Temple Lane
  4. Willow Lane

8:37 a.m. Joe received an email from Waste Management reporting that garbage truck #2120-71 was leaking hydraulic fluid at 6815 Collier Boulevard.

9:10 a.m. Joe arrived on-site and observed the truck parked behind the Texas Roadhouse restaurant at 6815 Collier Boulevard, positioned near the dumpster and leaking hydraulic fluid. Joe also noted that Waste Management mechanic John Ellerbe was already working under the truck, having arrived at 9:00 a.m.

9:15 a.m. Joe approached the Waste Management driver, Chain Lee Gonzalez, to understand what happened. Gonzalez explained that while attempting to lift the dumpster, it stalled mid-air before suddenly dropping back down. He then noticed that the primary PTO hose had ruptured, causing significant hydraulic fluid leakage. Gonzalez immediately locked the valve to prevent further spillage.

9:23 a.m. Joe called Marcelo Menejias, the Waste Management Claims and Compliance Officer, to inform him of the hydraulic fluid leak. Marcelo stated he was on his way to the location.

9:30 a.m. Joe spoke with mechanic John Ellerbe, who confirmed that a hydraulic hose connected to the control valve had burst, resulting in the loss of approximately 10 gallons of hydraulic fluid. John was in the process of replacing the hose and planned to refill the lost hydraulic fluid.

9:45 a.m. Mechanic John Ellerbe completed the repairs and requested that Gonzalez test the lifting mechanism, which operated perfectly. John confirmed that the repairs were complete.

10:00 a.m. Marcelo arrived at the location and initiated the cleanup process.

10:20 a.m. Joe coordinated with Marcelo and cleared the driver to resume his route.

10:30 a.m. Joe observed that the spill did not contact any water or soil.

Hi Matt,

I’d like your opinion on this situation.

The customer stated she has had two trash carts for the past few years—one billable and one provided for free by Collier County. According to her, the free cart was given to support her nonprofit 501(c)(3) animal rescue, which currently cares for about 50 animals. She says the extra cart was provided to accommodate this need.

The issue now is that the free cart was damaged by Waste Management, and she’s requesting a replacement. However, she’s been informed by Waste Management that there’s no record of her property having two carts.

Looking forward to your thoughts on how to proceed.

47th AVENUE NE

Subject: Request for Roadway Repairs on 47th Avenue NE Due to Service Disruptions

Carlos Fernandez, Operations Manager at Waste Management, has observed that multiple intersections along 47th Avenue Northeast have roadway depressions that are impacting service operations. These dips in the pavement pose challenges for Waste Management truck drivers, making it difficult to safely navigate intersections and deliver consistent service.

A key area of concern is the intersection of 47th Avenue Northeast and 20th Street Northeast, where the road depression is particularly deep. The weight of the trucks causes instability when passing through, increasing the risk of accidents and delays in service.

Mr. Fernandez is requesting that the county evaluate the condition of these intersections and take appropriate action to repair the depressions. Addressing these issues will improve driver safety and help ensure dependable waste collection for the community.

Subject: Roadway Depression at Intersections on 47th Avenue NE Affecting Waste Management Operations

Carlos Fernandez, Operations Manager at Waste Management, has reported that several intersections along 47th Avenue Northeast have noticeable depressions in the roadway. He noted that these dips make it difficult for Waste Management truck drivers to safely navigate the intersections and effectively deliver services.

One particularly problematic location is the intersection of 47th Avenue Northeast and 20th Street Northeast, where the depression is severe enough to cause trucks to become unbalanced due to their heavy weight. This poses a safety risk and hinders consistent service delivery.

Mr. Fernandez recommends that the county inspect and repair these intersections to prevent potential accidents and to support Waste Management in maintaining reliable service for the community.

THIRD

This report is to formally bring to the County’s attention a roadway depression located at the intersection of 48th Avenue SE. The Operations Manager of Spintex Waste Management has expressed ongoing concern regarding this issue, as the depression has been creating significant challenges for their drivers when navigating the area during scheduled waste collection services.

The dip in the roadway not only disrupts the smooth operation of waste collection vehicles but also poses a safety hazard, particularly for large service trucks that require stable and level road conditions to operate safely. Spintex Waste Management drivers have reported difficulties maneuvering through the intersection, increasing the risk of equipment damage, delays in service delivery, and potentially serious accidents.

Given these concerns, Spintex Waste Management respectfully requests that the County assess and repair the affected section of roadway. Prompt action will support the continued safe and efficient delivery of waste management services in the area and help prevent any future incidents related to the road condition.

We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

DRIVEWAY

Joe received an email from Customer Service concerning a complaint submitted by Richard Ziploc. The customer claimed that Waste Management trucks have been repeatedly backing onto his driveway, which has led to visible damage to the asphalt.

Joe visited the location to assess the situation and observed cracking and wear on the driveway surface. During the site visit, he spoke with Mr. Ziploc, who explained that, due to his home being located at the dead end of the street, Waste Management trucks often use his driveway to turn around. He believes this repeated maneuvering is the cause of the asphalt damage.

While inspecting the area, Joe noted several tire marks on the driveway. However, there was no conclusive evidence confirming that the tracks were made by Waste Management vehicles.

Following the visit, Joe contacted Marcelo Magic, Waste Management’s Claims and Compliance Officer, to report the issue. Marcelo advised that he would personally visit the site to inspect the damage.

Joe is currently awaiting the results of Waste Management’s assessment before proceeding with the next steps in the investigation.
