Engolf and his wife Leona moved to Utah from Pekin, Illinois, 22 years ago. Just about everyone in their family of eight children is involved in helping out with the trash business. The business began about six years ago while Engolf was working down in Salt Lake City in the shop that makes the brand of garbage truck that he uses. He bought a second hand garbage truck and continued working in the shop while he steadily built up his own business. His original route centered around the Kamas Oakley area with 35 customers. The route has grown in the past six years to include Park City, the condominiums, Wanship Hoyt-svillSummit Park, Snyderville, Marion, Park West, Silver Creek, -- e, Kimball Junction, Francis, Woodland, Echo,. Coalville, and Peoa. He drives approximately 200 miles in the four to six hours it takes to cover his daily route. As might be expected, this extensive route has caused a great MID MLDCCm SACCOS ORDERS TO GO 649-890- 2 HOT SANDWICHES FOOSBALL open til a deal of wear and tear on his truck. However, the greatest amount of abuse occurs right here in Park City-abnot only of his truck, but also of his services. When Engolf first came to Park City with the proposal that he collect the trash, he told the city fathers that he wanted to do a fine job and keep the city clean However, up to this point, it has been a losing battle for him. Both he and his boys are very proud of the job that they do: They always try to pick up the area around the trash cans and leave it looking neat.
