Eric's Heroes: Wyatt Collins, a recycling center's newest star, finds joy in the job

A little more than a year ago, we introduced you to a lovely guy named Wyatt Collins.
In the story, we told you about how he was born three months prematurely, how he battled infections, and then leukemia, and how he was later diagnosed with autism.
When we first brought you his story, the thing he loved most was going with his parents every week to the Hidden Valley Recycling Center, where he would unload his recycling and take it to his friends at the center to be recycled.
"Wyatt, Recycle Man" then got a job, his dream job.
