Top Dog Waste Solutions in Rocky Mount recently donated a total of $2,000 to the Edgecombe Community College Foundation. The local trash and recycling company’s contribution will fund three distinct scholarships.

The Top Dog Welding Scholarship will provide $1,000 to students enrolled in the welding diploma program at ECC. A $500 gift will support students in business administration’s marketing certificate program and is entitled the Top Dog Marketing Scholarship. The additional $500, also referred to as the Top Dog Finance Scholarship, will sponsor qualified students enrolled in the accounting and finance-excel certificate program.

“After meeting with Mr. Bradley Moore, the chief executive officer of Top Dog Waste Solutions, it was evident that that he and the team at Top Dog Waste Solutions care about the community and want to ensure that graduates possess the skills they need to thrive in the workforce,” says Tameka Kenan-Norman, executive director of public information and institutional advancement at ECC. “We are thankful for his generosity and for understanding that education is a pivotal starting point for economic development.”
