Mesquite, TX – October 2, 2021 – On Oct. 1, the City of Mesquite celebrated National Custodial Workers Day. Mayor Bruce Archer thanked the City of Mesquite custodial workers for keeping the City running and recognized the hard work that it takes to keep our public facilities in tip-top shape. 

Custodians are our first line of defense in the war on germs and often, it’s a thankless task. Custodial workers operate behind the scenes. They are often under-appreciated for the hard work they do day after day, too. These are the personnel keeping schools, hospitals, office buildings, museums, churches, and other buildings clean and well maintained. The work is physically demanding. Depending on the position, custodial workers may work varying shifts and possibly in several locations. They may be part of a team or work independently. No matter where they work, this day recognizes there dedication and hard work. Watch the video below.
