Investigation Summary
At 7:30 a.m. on July 24, 2020, an employee was obtaining waste container information and photographing waste contents during a garbage dumping operation at a transfer facility. The employee was standing at the rear of a vehicle while the container door was open and the container in a raised position for dumping the waste onto the facility's floor.

The employee was hospitalized to treat multiple fractures to his leg.
