Hi, my name is Russ Philpott, proud Navy combat veteran and the owner/operator of Trash Can Dashers LLC.

The business is insured for your protection, built on grit, heart and neighborly service.

​

I’ve launched Trash Can Dashers to serve my community in a new way - by helping disabled individuals, seniors, and busy families get their trash cans to the curb and back, rain, snow, or shine. This service isn’t just for those who need a helping hand, it’s also for folks like I used to be, who hear the trash truck roll by and realize they forgot to drag the cans out. Life gets busy. I get it. That’s where I come in.

​

I’m an honest Okie with a mission: to make life a little easier, a little cleaner, and a lot more neighborly. Whether you need help every week or just once in a while, I’m here to serve, with heart and hustle.

​

After my military career, I continued serving the American people as a rural mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service. I’m also a disabled Iraq War veteran, and I carry that experience with pride and humility.

​​

I spent 10 years in the U.S. Navy as a jet engine mechanic, serving aboard four aircraft carriers:

• USS Midway (now a museum in San Diego—touring it recently brought back incredible memories)

• USS Enterprise (multiple 6-month deployments)

• USS Theodore Roosevelt (my final tour, deployed to the Middle East, where I had the unforgettable chance to visit Israel)

• And one additional carrier that shaped my journey and service.​
