My local area in Japan, you separate burnable, non-burnable, PET bottles, glass/aluminum, cardboard, newspaper, milk cartons (regular not tetra-pack-lining inside) and yard scrap (non-food).
Burnable is twice a week, PET and non-burnable alternate once every week, cardboard every two weeks. Bin (glass) / Can (aluminum) is every two weeks as well.
Mostly it’s to prevent crows and rats from getting into the garbage. You take everything out the morning of pickup.
So you tend to rinse everything out really well so avoid smells etc. Japan has some really clean garbage.
Vs my time in the U.S. where it is just yard scraps, cardboard and cans, and everything else (which just festers in bags in the garbage can for a week). But I feel like the automatic pickup style is kind of better for long term use.
Last time I was in Sicily the garbage was like this. Lil tiny bags, and a different type (organic/glass/cardboard/rubbish/etc was supposed to get put out every day.
When I lived in Germany, we had regular trash and the yellow bag for recyclables. I thought I was pretty conscientious about it, but my land lady would go through my trash and pick out things that should have been in recycling (some of them tiny scraps), then return them to me with a lecture.
This was not my experience in my month or so there. There is a very large eating out culture in the cities, but still not nearly enough to account for the teeny tiny nature of their trash system.
Well, on one hand I am glad that you are having fun doing your job and finding entertaining ways to enjoy it. That’s all well and good. But on the other hand, my great uncle died working as a trash collector because he was run over by the garbage truck due to the driver losing track of him for a split second…. That’s all it took. And I really don’t want it to happen to anyone else. It doesn’t seem like a very pleasant way to go.
Also, I’m guessing “guy #2” goes through a lot of shoes that way.
The German garbage men would run next to the truck kind of like this when I lived there thought it was awesome many because they did not slow down traffic at all also looked fun.
Where is this that there's that little garbage?
Brasilia according to that shown real estate agent shop

My American mind failed this task tremendously.

I'm guessing 90% of their food isn't packaged in cardboard and plastic like ours is.

This is Xangri-la, a beach in southern Brazil that I spent many summers in.
It is pretty much a summer only town, and is virtually deserted during the winter. This seems to be winter, hence so few people and so little trash.
As much as I like that they're having fun, they're one wrong step away from a life altering/ending injury.

Wow, I wonder who tried to throw out a house?
Where not in this sub
As someone who longboards and dragg one foot as a brake, this guy must go through lots of shoes!
Berufsgenossenschaft sagt nein.
La tuya!
And if mine is 2 inches too far off the road they won’t touch it.
Ah yes…one small takeaway bag of garbage per week. No need for a can, no animals in this country.
And he has to buy new shoes every week.
That guy left so much shoe rubber on that road.... lolz.
Workplace injuries, what are those?
Your workers comp claim has been rejected
Sportacus got into garbage collection after LazyTown

My head canon is that the driver is just a real douchebag who refuses to slow down or stop
I'm surprised they can just leave bags out that don't get destroyed by birds?
Just like the ones we have in Lambeth,but ares don't pick any rubbish up they just run away from it.
In this economy, even Sportacus needs a second job to make ends meet
Those are workshoes as in shoes he gets from work.
Trash
Is his hair a hat? Or is his hat a hair?
That is an energy level I aspire to.
those dudes are paid by the job, not the hour !
Gonna tell my future kids this is Sonic
Homies are FIT

Hopefully boss man isn’t watching. I see several willful violations

Drugs? Gotta be drugs.
We are all on drugs!
You see, this is why OSHA serves to only reduce fun at work.
Garbage man?
idk, seemed like a nice enough guy
An old quote comes to mind.
"Give a dog a good name, and he will live up to it."
Most people if given the opportunity and a good name o live up to it, will go as large as they can in any court or field.
