The golden standard of “work smarter not harder,” should be our north star when it comes to donation pickups. When evaluating a location, several factors should be considered.
Where should the truck go in order to ensure the pickup is completed the in a timely manner?
Is the truck impeding traffic or making it difficult for other motorists?
If stairs are involved, is the risk of harming myself or causing property damage too great to justify moving an item?
These are just a few examples you may have to consider while on site. Remember, your safety is the most important thing. If you ever run into a situation where you feel jeopardizes your safety, do not hesitate to reach out to your direct supervisor.
