Temps Disposal Service has been a part of the community since 1952, starting with a single farm truck and growing into a company that now serves thousands of customers each week. In this episode, Dé sits down with co-owner Shelby Temps to talk about carrying on the family business alongside his wife, Sarah.
He shares the challenges of keeping trucks on the road, the hazards disposal workers face, and the importance of safety and reliability in waste collection.
Listeners will also hear about what makes the job rewarding, from helping customers solve unusual problems to creating a positive workplace for employees. Shelby discusses community partnerships, the realities of holiday and storm schedules, and why simple steps like bagging trash or setting it out early make a big difference.
From family legacy to the day-to-day grind of serving over 3,500 stops a week, this conversation shines a light on a business we all rely on — and the dedicated people who keep it running.
