A Day In The Life Of A Garbage Man

Here's a little video of what I did on this day. It's usually a two man truck, but this day I did a little something different.

From one trash panda to another ... Stay safe out there. Most thankless job there is .

That and being a Janitor

@@thelawnbarber9038 a janitor doesn’t even compare close to a sanitation worker, we pick up bags not knowing what’s in them, janitors have it quite easy compared to us

Thank you for being a trashman ❤️❤️

[@GarbageGangster]

I didn’t know you could do this job without a loader. The cities I work in have HEAVY trash everywhere. People throw away so much stuff. Couches and mattresses, dryers and dishwasher, and don’t forget compost, everybody’s favorite hundred pound bins or wet bags that rip any which way you grab them

[@mattysquizzato7094]

LOL. Yardwaste bags are THE WORST.

[@kvmairforce]

Depends where you live. Either cities or HOAs will have fines if you put that type of stuff out. If it gets bad enough, you could lose your home for not following HOA rules or not have your trash be picked up again. Those of course extreme examples, but it does make sure people follow the rules.

[@trollologist953]

Heck the company I work for has a driver and two loaders

[@maxnovakovics2568]

In my town garbage is it's own truck, usually recycle and compost are seperate but sometimes it's one truck with a partition, yard waste is it's own truck. And things like Christmas trees and mattresses are notified prior on special collection days.

[@xEvilRaptorx]

Roommate and I were just discussing the garbage cans. The debate was the direction of it... In another life, thats the job I probably have. Thanks for your service

[@condemned2469]

Ive been working as a ben man for a month now an let me tell you doing this job you gotta be in good shape running on the side of the truck and picking up heavy bins with loads of glass can get 2 a point however it's a really nice job the weather is one thing but this is why you gotta love who you work with. I might be the newest guy on the team however i kill myself daily an come home and still workout daily. It's one of those jobs that pay well i get about 14 an hour however once i get accetped onto the team the pay will go up 2 17 an hour... However this is one of those jobs where you can only/should be on the back of the truck doing the grunt work for 2-3 years max. What they really push onto the younger guys are cdl being able 2 drive the trucks and getting a job title. Once you get ur class A/B ur pay goes up 2 35 an hour plus how many years you worked each year is a 1$ promote you get. Now after the first day i asked my dad if this job was a loser job? I worked at many different jobs before however i would always have panic attacks i felt like i was a bum however getting support from my family is helping me out alot. plus all the people i work with telling me they want me 2 work with them having people fight over me who will have me this week is awesome! I really enjoy the job i do it's nice being able 2 work for the city i lived in my whole life learning that i could even move out of my house with this job an the best thing is being able 2 move anywhere in the whole USA and knowing you will always find work if they city has a dpw. The dpw has a awesome system if you put down lets say 3 years at one and decied 2 move lets say texas from new jersey as long as they have a dpw there those 3 years will carry over. Another great thing about the dpw is showing any other city job police firefighter that you have worked with the city it puts you past alot more folks that only did college for it because if you did both college and a city job they will look at you like a first pick. For those of you starting a garbage man job enjoy it don't feel stress have fun ive been there 2 thinking im a loser because im a garbage man however this is the first steps become a cdl driver have ur goals work is work. let's be real this job makes me feel like a man it's not a hard job all you need is 2 be in good shape and strong you will make it if you do this plus gym you will become a shredded monster! One day i will come back 2 this video an i will tell you guys more about my job and where i am at in life until then keep ur head up high it's ur job don't feel ashamed of it. You could always not have a job

[@TaylorNapolsky]

[@TheNVTrashMan]

Awesome wow!!! 1313, eh? I have a 12ish minute video of this truck that i took a few years back on bulk. Oh wow the Tuesday area!!! So excited to see find this on youtube. Hope to see more PVs if you decide to do more. I am a huge fan of you guys and these trucks!!! I make videos of Henderson's ASLs and any other places i travel to. You'll probably see lots of your coworkers on my channel haha.

been there done that 35 yrs

[@abelpadilla7789]

You as a driver let me see how long u been driving loading trash n bulky items would you appreciate if a salvage guy came around pulling out all the inside of mattresses and pull out the Spring springs also on couches recliner and sofa bed inside frame is heavy but with a hammer a few good hits of the hammer all the metal frames come out that could lighten up your load and bring the weight down for you so would you mind but also keep it clean the way the stop was put out. Great video I too was a rear loader and finished my last 20 years was driving a front loader.

[@LV_trashman43RS]

Do u have a buddy?

[@Guitar157]

What time do you start and finish? I guess you'd finish when you're done, but generally when is that?

[@taylordiaz6328]

My job: be at the yard by 6, start route at 7, you stay out til your route is finished, but overtime starts after 5pm

[@arbo1191]

Where is your help….

[@jtmaudi]

I'm a trash man and I will tell you that this is very unrealistic as to what we do everyday.

[@acesanitationserviceinc]

Depends on the market area... In some rural areas around our market it's not uncommon for a single guy to run a rearload. It is the least desirable route, but they are out there.

[@DavidPacJr]

Nice video, do you wear goggles or a mask while doing this?

[@lvdoom5620]

Thanks🙏🏼 and yes I do! mask/safety glasses!Safety first!
