The world of dumpsters, portable toilets and storage containers may not be glamorous, but we rely on these services every single day. Luckily for us, there are companies like Frazier Disposal of Wellfleet that get their hands dirty for us and provide all of our sanitation needs.
Now, we know small businesses have an impact on their communities that go beyond a single transaction, and the nomination we received about Frazier proves it ten fold.
This appreciative customer told us he needed his trash taken out for a few weeks as he was going into rehab for a leg injury and his wife could not manage trips to the dump. Weeks turned to years and he remained in rehab with “no money coming in”. Matt Frazier called and told him “Don’t worry. Get better”. While in rehab he lost total mobility and the ability to walk.

Seven years later Mr. Frazier is still picking up my trash for nothing. His workers come get the trash and take it all. They come inside and help my wife. His men have brought groceries into the pantry. Mr. Frazier keeps taking care of me. I’m just a guy in a wheelchair who’s real sick most of the time.I hope this story helps a man who I’ve never met. That goes a long way for a man he doesn’t know and a family that is in tough financial shape. He’s truly one of God’s angels. I realize the dumpster guys are not the big heroes, but he is to me.
