HOUSTON - Let’s talk trash! Houston Police Officers’ Union (HPOU) paid a young local business owner an out-of-the-park visit. 

We recently spoke with 13-year-old Anthony Gonzalez who started a business turning trash into cash by charging customers to clean their garbage cans for $10 each bin.

After hearing that Gonzalez loves playing baseball, HPOU and HPOU Executive Director Ray Hunt gifted him four Astros tickets right behind home plate, a hat, a shirt, and a framed Astros World Series newspaper from Alan Helfman.

Gonzalez hopes to grow his business into the big leagues, even offering his cleaning services to Astros José Altuve for free.
