At All American, we believe that the future of Central Wisconsin depends on the next generation of skilled professionals. That is why we were thrilled to participate in the recent Antigo Community “Touch a Truck” event, where we had the opportunity to introduce local youth to the essential world of the trades.
Hands-On Learning for the Next Generation
There is something special about seeing a child’s eyes light up when they climb into the cab of a massive dumpster rental fleet truck. For many kids, “Touch a Truck” is more than just a fun afternoon; it is their first real-world exposure to the machines and the people that keep our town running.
AJ, our Operations Manager spent the afternoon demonstrating the power and precision of our residential trash and recycling garbage truck. By allowing kids to get up close, we hope to spark an early interest in the skilled trades—careers that are vital, rewarding, and right here in their backyard.
More Than Just Machines: Meeting the People Behind the Job
While the trucks are always the stars of the show, the real value of the event was the connection between us and the community. AJ shared stories about what it takes to manage waste logistics for major demolition projects and how we keep our neighborhoods clean.
We want the youth in Antigo, Wausau, and surrounding areas to know that these aren’t just “jobs”—they are essential services that require technical skill, problem-solving, and a commitment to the community.
Why Supporting the Trades Matters to All American
As a local, neighbor-owned business, we understand the growing need for skilled operators and technicians in the waste management and construction industries. Participation in events like “Touch a Truck” allows us to:
Encourage Career Exploration: Showing kids that there are diverse, high-tech career paths in the trades.
Build Community Trust: Meeting our neighbors face-to-face and showing the human side of waste management.
Invest in Antigo’s Future: Supporting local events that bring families together and provide educational value.
Looking Forward
We are proud to be a part of the Antigo community and are already looking forward to next year’s event. Whether we are providing waste management bids for the Langlade County Fair or teaching a kindergartner how a hydraulic lift works, All American is committed to moving Central Wisconsin forward.
