Waste King rescues and recycles run-away dog

Waste King – a specialist collections, clearance and recycling company that focuses on providing a highly environmentally friendly service – guarantees to recycle 98 per cent of every load it collects.

However, it had an unexpected challenge recently when its Customer Service Assistants, Harry Durham and Andy Morgan, came across a run-away dog not far from the company’s headquarters.

'Scrap', the run-away dog.

According to Harry: “It was very early in the morning and Andy and I were on our way to our first job when we noticed a dog crossing the road. There was no one else about so, being dog lovers, we stopped our vehicle and approached the dog on foot.

“The dog – a cross between a beagle and a pug – wagged its tail as I approached,” added Harry. “Andy and I checked its collar but couldn’t find the name or address of its owner.”
