Garbage Man's Bad Day

This guy was just not having a good day. Almost feel bad for catching it on video.

[@ShawnTheSilentLurkerKerr]

I didn't see a "garbage man" having a bad day. I saw a bunch of inconsiderate homeowners not sorting out their recyclables.

[@beasty41]

TheSilentLurker RC_Media or bagging trash

[@Rockonymous]

Lmao

[@pusscat5161]

My dad was a garbage man in the 70's and he loved his job

[@benward7839]

Puss cat cool story bro

[@bfabbigcoinsgl1341]

They need to be putting their garbage into bags. Seriously I'm seeing the same thing inconsiderate homeowners not bagging their garbage.

[@eLOVES1911]

It's obvious the person filming this wouldn't last 5 mins doing this. Yes it seems easy enough. But the man wakes up at 4am to be at work at 5am. Check his paper work of his route for the day. Make sure his fueled. Do a pre trip on his truck (inspection). Then deal with A holes on the road. And then deal with A holes over stuffing there trash cans and blocking the trash cans. And then a dumb ass video tapping him. Good job.

True, and not spacing the cans out when they come. There is a lot of shit going on. I

so what its a furry..? this isnt even about furries

Truth

[@potskie420]

Seems like a nice garbage guy. Around here if it falls out it stays on the ground like hell the garbage guy is picking it up.

[@maiajones9765]

Potskie yes the same thing here if it falls on the ground they just go on their merry way they don't even stop to pick it up.

[@turgeo2004]

@@maiajones9765 Well I can understand why, after studying and watching a few even interviewing them. Most pick up the stuff they loose; however, some trash that is on the ground is due to animals such as raccoons, dogs, cats (wild and pets), they simply do not have time to clean up every mess they run into.

[@LandoYMEllis100]

Potskie lol u right tho

[@ShermanT.Potter]

When I drive an automated truck, if there is a mess not due to me I generally clean it up if it is near the can and I can assume it was in there previously. If something gets flicked out when I'm dumping the can, I clean it up and throw it in the hopper. With the exception of when empty grocery bags, packing peanuts, etc. get blown out. When we first started with the automated trucks, I tried to put those items back in the hopper when it was windy, but the wind acts like a tornado inside the hopper and so many of them blow back out it's not worth it. If it's dead calm and is only happening occasionally, I may chase them down and throw them in. One time, someone had a trash bag inside the can as a liner, and didn't detach it from the top. The trash came out, and as I was knocking it to get the liner loose, it finally came off, but there was an updraft and it blew onto their roof! What really gets you are the empty grocery bags/paper towels, etc. that are wet and stick to the inside of the can. You may not see them in the hopper camera, and they may not dump. But when you flick the can back, they can come out. I can't do anything to prevent that. Please bag your trash, if it's a liner detach it, and tie it securely! :)

[@rha101]

I must be having a bad day because I watched this whole thing for some reason.

[@stepanstas]

What a respectable driver. He really deserves a Christmas bonus.

[@suzukialto4488]

Going by the title i was expecting an exploding garbage bin, or maybe a bin slipping out of the gripping mechanism while being lifted up. This however looks like an ordinary day in the life of the garbage collector.. ?

[@jerrytucker1532]

All day

[@thomassommerfeld8494]

Which makes it worse... walking around and simply tossing the garbage in would be less terrible.

[@johnplummer5931]

[@moondowg1]

If this is your idea of a bad day, you must have one hel of a life. I am amazed I watched the whole thing, exactly like 45 years ago when I would skip school, just to watch the garbage truck. These things are incredible.

[@jesser5127]

Here's why he is irritated at having to get out so often.... Loose garbage in the cans without BAGS. You should get a massive fine for that. Put them in freaking bags and tie it.

[@terasestHammasratas]

why put stuff in more stuff?

[@beieber4life]

Emil Karu So stuff doesn’t fly out when they pick it up . The sanitation guy in the video got out of the truck to pick it up but in cities like here in Chicago, they just leave that shit on the ground

[@8x56]

A bad day is when you have a front loader drop the dumpster in the back of the truck. A bad day is when somebody leaves hot ashes from a wood stove in the dumpster and your truck catches fire. An even worse day is when the tow truck retrieving the garbage truck has it so high it catches a bridge beam ripping the truck off the wrecker.

rod garrett Hey I just fix the damn things when they do this stupid shit, it proves to be quite lucrative and the government calls it a "green job" so I'm also environmentally friendly. Can you say that?

[@ericconrad3923]

Thanks for wasting 6 and a half minutes of my life

[@meritpoint]

This is hilarious. Back in the 1980s when I was at university, I had a summer job with the local council and I emptied bins for a while. These were the old zinc bins, a proper metal bin with a lid and you had to carry it on your shoulder to get it into the bin cart. There were 3 men plus a driver on the lorry and we could empty maybe 8 or 10 times as many bins as this one-man operation. It had to be more efficient the old way, but I've never seen a lorry with one of these lift things on it.

[@fangsea]

I do have to ask, does everyone in your neighborhood have to put the cans so close together? Has no one ever though 'Hey, giant claw requires more room!'?

[@mckinleygodbolt9617]

What about the idiot with the car door open 🤪🤪

[@nrfnrd]

I put mine 3 feet apart

[@notherelowkey_]

Awww hes so sweet for ACTUALLY picking up the fallen trash. Some people just leave it there. I love ppl like this ^w^

[@SlipperyBream]

He knocks a few bins over. Big deal! Wow are all Americans this nitpicky?!

[@pxraid9613]

Yep happens all the time in aussie they just shrug it off

[@mattboi4078]

Well definitely not ALL Americans...

[@friendlyneighborhoodcow8776]

Is it his bad day cuz he spilt a plastic bag and tipped a can?

[@SSuperSpreader]

as a former garbage man making $23 buck an hour back in 2012 this was good stuff. i took my time and did the job right. you see the problem is, hes trying to hard to speed things up. hes just flooring the gas to whip that conveyer over. this guy just needs to relax

[@turgeo2004]

where did you make that much at? I am lucky to get 15 and I have 5 years exp.

@@turgeo2004 Yeah, they start around 15-18 here in ohio

[@thecommentperson5060]

It's not the garbage man, it's the inconsiderate residents that don't put their trash cans out past their cars.

[@ViewFinder88]

That truck is so inefficient this whole thing must be a joke. It's so loud and obnoxious, It's like driving a trumpet fitted chainsaw. This is more than just a bad day for this guy.

[@robertmcgee141]

One of my best friend's, takes his job seriously and cares about the customers and image of the company.

[@buddysyst3m]

This looks like it would be tedious, but it's not a bad day. There are much worse days on the job than the day you have to get out of the robotic-assisted garbage truck to pick up a plastic bag.

[@ReligiousZombie]

I'm amazed he picked up the spilled garbage. My garbageman never does that.

[@163mojo]

Honestly, the cute little "uh oh" from the kid was more entertaining than watching the garbage man pick up trash.

[@FavoriteMusicSongs]

Kudos to this guy! Where I am trash is collected much the same way, only there is trash all around the cans because the person is to lazy and doesn't want to waste his time stopping to pick it up. Though seeing how long it's taken this man to do one street I can see why more garbage people aren't like him.

[@alissanorfolk6134]

[@lagarbagetrucks]

ok

[@JMANWiSS]

Wow, for automated collection, you could almost get this street done faster with a rear loader

[@ProChoiceJesus]

When I was a kid I enjoyed watching the garbage truck. Back then (1970s to early 80s) it WAS two people who hung on the back of the truck and tossed every can into the back by hand. It was much faster. A whistle signaled driver to go to the next home. When I got a little older I whistled once in a while as a joke to get the driver to go before the men were actually done...until I got caught & yelled at! Our modern trucks are amazing technology, but this technology slows things down a lot.

[@masterfurb1]

People would be arrested if they went into an office building and filmed people working at their desk. I would be willing to bet that if this driver knew he was on KZbin for doing his job you would be picking your garbage up every time your cart was set out. Seems really creepy to me.

[@sagew7377]

masterfurb1 not illegal to film. Trespassing would be the only crime, which is only possible in your hypothetical scenario, and doubtful with a man at his own home.

[@marcsmilen6565]

Those trucks work out a lot when they're new. They lift small cans, then the weight is increased until one day when they're bulked up and lifting dumpsters

[@bh1567]

The face of a mean hangover. I refer to them as monday scaries

[@aawells07]

I don't know why but I love that truck. It's a really nice one. I like weird things lol. The paint job, the wheels, and the style/model truck it is. 😊

[@Nitrotechnology]

That's the coolest garbage truck I've seen o_o Here in Vancouver (Canada), the garbage trucks are just plain and old, they do it by hand.

[@williambowman6112]

wtf just another day the guy is working while your recording him

[@TransperthBusFootage]

I really feel so sorry about the garbage man when he had to pick the rubbish up and move the bins that poor garbage man had a bad day.

[@Heavyweight-kh8ss]

This guy even takes time to pick up trash that flew out and trash cans that fall over.

[@pusscat5161]

He needs a drivers mate. Automation is alright in theory sometimes but a bit awkward in practice especially if it's designed by someone who's spent their entire life in an office

[@willtalk19]

If people bagged their garbage, you wouldn’t need to worry about stuff flying out of the bin when it’s dumped.

[@MrEpic-qe2tt]

For any idiots who don't realize why this is titled garbage man's bad day, it's because he had to get out of the truck three times in a row to pick up spilled garbage or to move the carts around so the truck can grab them. It's not usual for the driver of an automated garbage truck to get out of the vehicle that much.

[@phil77019]

I don't normally see garbage men picking up stuff that fell out of the trash bin. It's good to see some people care. I've been watching some videos on garbage trucks. And it can be dangerous if the driver isn't paying attention.

[@terry987654]

in scotland we have a driver and 2 men emptying the bins the time it took him to do those few bins they could have done most of my road. suppose it is cheaper to do it that way but takes far longer though

They might as well just take the entire garbage can because they're all broken now.

[@1965looker]

I've had to pick up pieces of garbage in front of my home that the garbage truck guys never bothered to clean up after using a rear loader type, manually pushing the containers to the lift...this is one cool truck.

[@Frankestein01nl]

Seeing that garbagetruck in operation, i can fully understand why he's having a bad day, that the council let him out the door with that monstrosity. At least he cleans up after himself... That's character! Kudos! For the wingers: dont put your bin out on the street next time, as a matter of fact.. keep your garbage to yourself, both here and near the street.

[@platovaya]

Nothing wrong with the garbagemen, they do what they can, and the truck is just not very efficient. This is not a desirable job, regarding the noise and sometimes the rude drivers, and of course the smelly garbage itself. I have great respect for the people who take care of our trash,

[@CartmansFat98]

Who else was getting annoyed when the Dad kept saying "uh oh" like something bad was about to happen?

[@ridzuwhan]

[@jmarcum72]

I don't see this guy as having a bad day. In the Dallas area, if trash falls from your can while dumping it in the truck then you can be fined for not bagging it. Same goes for the recycle. This guy is just being nice about picking up what people didn't bag. He shouldn't even have to do this.

[@karagregory69]

Our trash company won''t pick up the cans if they are too close together. You are also required to bag it, so if any non-bagged trash spills on the ground, they won't pick it up. They say there is a reason it has to be bagged and any litering and/or fines for littering which resulted from non bagged items is the property owners responsibility.

[@DanielDaniel1]

Sad that whoever designed that arm probably doesn't get half the credit they deserve. Very cool ha

[@25chaosdragon]

I can guess 2 reasons why, 1st- stray trash was being left behind and the only reason the driver got out to clean it up this time was since there were people walking past him. 2nd- would be he was trying to bait the driver into going into his car, seeing as he left the door open and had the can so close to the car that it had to be moved first. starting at 3:48

The garbage guy was wearing a safety vest. He must be under a pension plan. Because he is a "vested" employee.

[@colefrick]

Also, The houses could of easily had 2 houses like apartments so you never know.

[@roadmonitoroz]

The arm design on that truck seems to be poorly thought out. It appears to grab the bin too low which of course tends to tip the bin over when releasing it due to the top of the bin being heavier. Our garbage trucks pick it up at a higher point and only sometimes knock the bin over. They also do it a lot quicker than this truck. Putting small sheets of loose paper or shopping bags in the bin unbagged also make this guys job harder.

[@TruckMan64]

This isn't really a bad day. All he did was clean up the spillage that happened 2 times. Besides, this probably even happens once or twice in a regular garbage man's day.

[@biganthony1986]

Wow he must have a really bad day. My garbage guys leave a mess after they pick up mine.

Did you know that in the UK we have Bin Men. Yea, a group of them come and actually pick up your bins and personally put it into the truck. So even if somebody where to have them in bagged it wouldn't matter.

[@Loco-motix]

The worst I ever saw was a front end loader and the top lid didn't open. He dumped a whole can of trash on top of the truck. He had to climb up to get the lid to open, then all the trash spilled over both sides onto the street. It was not safe for him climbing on top of there and having to work around the lid cleaning off the top of the compactor. One slip and he could be inside himself. Yikes!

[@pmattoon]

The baby screeching noises near the beginning was very annoying. Like another person says, bag your garbage and don't pick on this person. He's doing a good job cleaning up.

That appears to be a recycling truck not garbage. The smaller green bins are "green recyclables" meaning food & wet paper (like diapers) recycling. Blue wheelie bins are glass/plastic/ paper & plastic bags. Trash in black/green bags, not a wheelie bin.
