APEX, N.C. (WNCN) — An Apex mother gave her four-year-old son a birthday surprise he'll never forget, and it all started with a simple social media post. For Jen Burns' son Jackson, Friday is definitely his favorite day of the week — because it's trash day. The little boy, who's obsessed with garbage and yard waste trucks, received a special surprise Wednesday morning for his birthday. Workers from The Town of Apex Yard Waste Division, GFL Environmental and the Apex Police Department arrived at their home in large trucks and vehicles to celebrate Jackson's special day.
