K9s for Veterans!

Written by Tri State Disposal. Posted in News/Events

This year’s annual summer charity drive was a resounding success as we rallied behind the incredible cause of K9s for Veterans. The mission of K9s for Veterans is to support veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their transition back to civilian life by providing them with trained service dogs. Throughout the campaign, we dedicated ourselves to raising awareness about the challenges faced by veterans with PTSD and to simplifying the process of obtaining service dogs so that they receive the help they urgently need.

The impact of K9s for Veterans is truly remarkable, as they not only provide free food and basic medical care for the service dogs throughout their lives but also save the lives of rescue dogs from kill shelters by training them to be these vital companions for our veterans. Witnessing the bond formed between the veterans and their service dogs, it’s evident that the question of “who rescued who” takes on a profound meaning. We wholeheartedly commit ourselves to being transparent and thoughtful stewards of the generous donations we receive, ensuring that as many veterans as possible benefit from our collective efforts.

Moreover, during the months of April, May, and June, Tri-State Disposal joined in the spirit of giving by pledging to contribute $5 from every dumpster they rented to the K9s for Veterans charity. This partnership has been instrumental in amplifying our impact, as each dumpster rental not only helps individuals with their waste disposal needs but also supports the mission of K9s for Veterans. The collective efforts of Tri-State Disposal and our generous donors have proven that by working together, we can create meaningful change and improve the lives of our deserving veterans and their devoted service dogs. Together, we can make a lasting difference for these struggling heroes and the dogs who devote their lives to them.​

    CHECK WASHING SCAMS ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH!!

    Written by Tri State Disposal. Posted in News/Events

    !!!WARNING!!! 

    CHECK WASHING SCAMS ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH!! 

    TRI-STATE DISPOSAL would like to educate customers about this rampant crime that has directly affected some of our customers and our business. 

    What is Check Washing? 

    Check washing can occur when someone innocently pays their bills with a check, then puts it in their home mailbox for pickup or drops it in the blue USPS box after the final mail collection. Criminals intercept the mail and perform a process called Check Washing. During this process a check is put in a bin with a chemical that removes the handwritten ink, the check is then dried allowing the criminal to write the same check to whomever in the amount of their choice. Often the person will acquire a fake ID and go to the bank that is listed on the check to cash the check. Sometimes checks that are clearly written out to a business are fraudulently cashed by an individual without any verification. 

    How do you Protect Yourself? 

    1. Do Not Write Checks, if it is not necessary. Utilize your bank’s digital banking services to make payments on your monthly accounts. 
    2. Use Gel Ink Pens, they have been proven to “permeate the fibers on the check”, according to Experian. This makes check washing nearly impossible.
    3. Pay your bills online. 
    4. Avoid putting your bills in the blue USPS mailbox after the last pickup.
    5. Don’t leave your mail in your home mailbox overnight. 

    What should you do if your mail is stolen? 

    1. Contact your bank to alert them that your financial/bank information has been compromised. 
    2. Create a list of outstanding checks and any regular incoming or outgoing ACH payments. You will need this information when you visit your bank. 
    3. Close the compromised checking account and open a new checking account. 
    4. File a police report with your local police department. This is an ongoing issue in our community and your report will help authorities direct the resources needed to eradicate the rampant bank, financial, credit card fraud, scams, and mail theft. 
    5. Email the United States Postal Service to submit a report about stolen mail or contact the U.S. Postal Inspector’s Office by calling 1.877.876.2455.

    Important Message for e-Billing customers

    If you currently have an account with Tri-State Disposal’s online e-Billing system, you will need to register with the new customer portal. Your existing username and password did not transfer to the new system. However, you are free to reuse your previous log-in credentials as you choose.

    If you are a paperless billing customer, we did maintain your paperless billing program enrollment through the transition and you can expect to receive your first “bill-ready” email in June or July, depending on your bill cycle. There will be an access code on your bill that you will need to register.
