    Also, to show how much we rely on them, look at those garbage collector strikes in France.

    Yeah, it would be like that without them, but much worse long term.

      🤔 I wonder how it’ll work in the future. Automated garbage chute system, perhaps?

      Until then, garbage people definitely do deserve respect.

        Like this! (at least in urban areas).

        Honestly the way we do things now pisses me off ever since I watched that video. I’ve got 4 different trash containers to take care of (cardboard, organic, small plastics/metal, “other”), so when they’re full the least I should expect is that I could get rid of them down the street instead of waiting a week or two for a truck to come around!
