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”

    It’s mostly for recycling since garbage is bagged. In my town you’ll get a notice of you recycle things that clog the sorters.

    There was more checks when it was by hand. They’d slap on a sticker and refuse pick up. I prefer the nasty gram.

      Recycling is cool and all but pretty much all the plastic that goes in those bins ends up in the ocean or landfill

      Instead there should be a glass bin, an organics bin, and a landfill bin
