Who is Jimmy Rogers?

John Prokop, outgoing director of DPW

John Prokop, director for the Department of Public Works in #Nhv is retiring today.  A colleague recommended he speak with Nhv.Org in producing a showcase piece about one of his employees, Jimmy Rogers.

Edwin Martinez, Refuse Supervisor

John spoke of Jimmy in the highest regard.  He described him as a laborer who was dedicated to his family and who brought together the working community.  I went on a run with Jimmy and his partner on Tuesday, January 24th, 2013, to see what a day on the job was like for the workers of the DPW.

Enjoy this video, and hopefully there will be many others like it.  This city is a pretty amazing place.  Do you wonder where your trash goes?
