Yeah the trash guys in this city are a joke. You'd think doing one of the easiest jobs in society wouldn't be so tough for them, but I guess most can't even read at a high school level.

Holy crap, have you watched those guys work? They literally run and jump and bend over and lift heavy loads all day long, in all weather, while exposed to horrendous noise and odors.

Say whatever you want about the city's crappy collection programs, but the collectors themselves work their asses off. I couldn't do their job. This issue is not about them.

Yes. 1 guy on the back picks up over 10 tons of trash a day. One of the easiest jobs in society” yeah right. Look up 10 toughest jobs in America. You might learn something. When it’s snowing and 20 below out these guys are still picking up your shit so have a little respect and not try to shit on city workers.

It's a very hard and very dangerous job and that smell that sticks on you. The conditions they work in along with the demanding schedule (no time for bathroom breaks) isn't for the weak. Trash collectors always have my respect.

Maybe the most ignorant and entitled comment I have read in many moons. Wow! Work one of those trucks for ONE day and I'll be ready at the end of your shift with a hanky.

The DPW is a joke, but it's not the trash guys' fault. They're just doing their job.
