An image of two garbage collectors. One in the foreground is walking towards the garbage truck while pulling a yellow recycling bin. Another garbage collector is in the back of the truck with their hands raised in a friendly way. The words of the meme are “THERE’S NO OFFICIAL TRAINING FOR GARBAGE COLLECTORS. THEY HAVE TO PICK IT UP AS THEY GO ALONG”
Thanks for this short 1 frame job site training video.
Are there still municipalities that haven’t automated the container pick up part of it? Those trucks have the added benefit of having cameras track what is dumped at each address.
Many
“This guy dumps a lot of things wrapped up to look like dead human bodies. Haha. What a jokester.”
I’m pretty sure they have a ton of training because it’s dangerous as fuck
True, but jokes aside those trash cans are heavy, like they have good strength.
Here in the UK, the bins have wheels and the truck lifts them. They just wheel it to the vehicle
In this part of California the trucks have a robot mechanism that the drive controls, so the driver stays in the cab unless something goes wrong. I’ve seen them stop to dump out cardboard from the truck because it wasn’t in the recycling bin.
One driver doesn’t even stop, they just keep rolling as the bin gets dumped, so they often drop it blocking the neighbor’s driveway.
In Canada they don't even have to get out of the trucks anymore except when people fail at simple tasks like proper spacing between compost and garbage bins or someone parks too close.
Not sure how often that is. Probably an annoying percentage.
Yeah here too, I just remember seeing, as a child, how they needed to actually lift those, not sure if they still need to lift them but they do have wheels.
