      ​@@voteforpedro7332 True, it is paid well. The only thing Id be scared about is the health risks, I would 100% use some type of masks. And I remember dreaming about riding on the side of a garbage truck when I was a kid, sounds fun to drive around like that :D

      If a journalist didn't show up for work one day, nobody would notice. But if there was no one who came to pick up our (plastic) trash any given day, everyone on that whole garbage trucks route would not get theirs picked up.

      I agree 💯 I don't work in a landfill I work for a construction company where my job is to pick up all the garbage on job sites and toss it into a dump trailer, dump truck or sometimes there's a dumpster on the job site. So yeah garbage is my specialty. After all all garbage whether if it's garbage from construction sites or if it's household garbage it all has to go somewhere.

    I used to have the weirdest job years ago. I would follow around a garbage truck in the wee hours of the morning counting how many "yards" (bags) of trash they would throw into the garbage truck. I even got to ride on the back of the truck once when there was nothing else to do and helped load trash into it. Gave me massive respect for sanitation workers. They are literally keeping society clean and disease free. Without them, things would fall apart very quickly.

      Met some fella at a flee market and he had loads of toys. He said that everything he was selling was taken from trash. What i liked there were 8 game of thrones figures. Sadly weather damaged the boxes, but they could have been thrown out in brand new condition. Couple of them in new condition could cost 100-200$ each.

    I worked at a garbage company about 10 years ago and EVERYTHING was sorted. We had a department for e-waste, all recyclable material (from metal, cardboard, plastic, paper, aluminum cans, glass bottles, etc.) , we had a department for hazardous waste (that's was my department), wood would get thrown into a woodchipper and given away for free to anyone who wanted some, and everything that wasn't recyclable would then either get sent to a landfill or sent to another state who could then resource whatever they can get out of it. We'd sort through basically everything from all of the main town as well as the neighboring towns.

      I also enjoyed the video, but the way they portray the plant as reducing CO2 is just plain wrong. They say the carbon filters absorb pollutants, but they leave out the percentages, and then go on to say how 'nitrogen' is released from the chimney when in reality it's massively polluting. A good video however it seems like they're pushing the agenda of this specific waste management company. Imo.

      Nitrogen isn’t actually polluting. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas we breath, it takes up approximately 78% of the atmosphere. It’s also very essential for living organisms. Especially plants.
      Lastly, this facility definitely produces less CO2 than an open landfill does.

These people are getting paid six figures. Yes it's dirty work but they get paid to do what they do. Doesn't mean when we flip burgers at Mckey D we do not deserve respect. We don't need to call them disrespectfully or specially. They are just regular workers like we are. They are getting paid for what they do.

    Im a trucker and i carry garbage aswell, i can take 28tons max and usually i take it 1000km between countries, i work in scandinavia, this is very common and usual here, a large part of the economy is built around carrying goods to one country and carrying garbage back to another instead of driving 1000km empty which would greatly increase the price of goods and it pays our trip back.

  • @PD-fe7dz

    I remember before direct deposit and debit cards, my husband was a truck driver. He hauled garbage from NY to California. On the trip back he would pick up loads of money, mostly coins in Vegas to bring back to the east, so that they could be evenly distributed. He never smelled trash, he and the convoy always smelled. 🤑🤑🤑 If you didn't get on drugs in the 70's you made good money back then. A lot of the drivers worked for more prestigious companies, like my husband worked for Greyhound. He took off that gray suit and threw on those jeans, and hit the road jack!!! 😁

    There's a guy in Shanghai that figured out how to filter air pollution into a vacuum and convert them into bricks. I think every waste processing and manufacturing plants in general should adopt this technology for all of their emissions. Seems like Covanta is already pretty clean and efficient but imagine if they produced modular bricks for cheap housing out of the pollution produce from being trash. There is no such thing as "waste", only byproduct. The trick is figuring out how to utilize all the byproducts.

      I’m not sure if you came up with this theory yourself but it’s genius. It will drive prices up and reduce purchases and, therefore, waste.

    • @kma3647

      Nope. Has to be consumer driven. Manufacturers will produce as long as there's demand because that's where the incentive lies to make money. The consumer has to change his demand. Just look at alcohol prohibition and the drug trade. You can make manufacturing, sale, and distribution all illegal, but people will still do it because the demand is there. The ONLY way you change that equation is to reduce demand. You need a better solution.

For example if their product is 100% recyclable and is not often sent to processing plants they would avoid this, but if their product caused waste which led them to these processing plants they would pay a tax for it which would help fund the plants.

    As someone who worked as a custodian for many years, theyre HIGHLY underappreciated and looked down upon. If custodians and garbage disposal workers were to go on strike, people would quickly see just how filthy humans are and how important and valuable these workers are. Sanitation workers should be thanked for their service just like troops are. We do a huge service!

      Just like troops? You mean Military? Umm no, you shouldnt. You pick up trash, no risk to your life, or limb, and you get to go home everyday, so dont even diminish military service by trying to say your garbage collection warrants you being respected. Just because your job is important, doesnt mean your not expendable, some high school dropout will always be there to do your easy job. Lol
