The trash hauler that came down nine-year-old Noah Carrigan’s street probably didn’t realize the impact he made on that young boy. Every Tuesday for years, Noah would run out and greet him and the trash hauler would honk back.

But when their Florida county changed trash providers, Noah learned they would have new trash haulers. On the last pickup day with the old company, Noah gave his trash “buddy” a toy trash truck he used to play with and a sweet note to thank him for working so hard and making trash day extra fun. Sometimes it just takes a wave and a smile to make someone’s day!

See Noah’s note and read the full heartwarming story!
