(WDRB) — When&nbsp;Jake Bland, with Hometown Hauling, noticed&nbsp;a woman hadn't put out&nbsp;trash in more than two weeks, he knew something was off.Instead of ignoring the small observation, Bland, the company's operations manager, asked dispatch to call the customer.Bernice Arthur took Bland's call and immediately searched for the woman's information.
