- Sanitation workers Angelo Bruno and Eddie Nieves worked together for nearly ten years on the same garbage route in Manhattan's West Village and became fixtures in the community. After 31 years on the job, Angelo retired. At StoryCorps, he talked with Eddie about the unexpected lessons he learned along the way and what he still misses about the job.

It's a miracle. A story corps video where someone doesnt die.
There's more like "miss Devine"
RebornBySin Miss Devine is one of my favorites
Rudeness dies when watching a story corps :)
I came to the comments to say something about that. It's nice actually to get a break from that, and see listen to a story about life that stands on its own, not in comparison to a tragic death.
True and the bros gets the princess aka a good ending
"Be proud of yourself"
Those words always strike a chord with me. We always hear that we should "dream big", that we should all touch the very stars, and that if we don't, we're not living up to our potential. But if you're just getting by, happy with your life, providing for a family, and doing something that benefits people, the makes the world better, even just a little bit, then dammit, that's something worth being proud of.
Give a friendly wave to sanitation workers, a kind thanks to the mailman, tip your wait staff well, and ease up on the tax collector; they're just people, like you and me, making a living and getting by in this crazy world.
Well said.
Mad Hatter I always took it as take pride in your work
I'm proud to be a Public Service Worker.
This video is a reminder of what I'm blessed with
yep
I work in a medical clinic and as a Hospital housekeeper/Janitor and now, looking back at this video it really speaks to me. I love the job and am truly blessed to have it.
ive been a sanitation worker, it is the most thankless job you could ever imagine! Dirty diapers, medical waste, old paint and chemicals was just another day on the job. Talk about rain sleet or snow you work in it all! The worst part would be if you bust your ass from the crack of dawn to mid afternoon and pick up someones filth and they call to complain that there trash bin was out of place or too far from the curb, that got to me. Everyone just thinks the garbage magically disappears overnight but its the hard working men and women who make this world a livable place. My point is this, get to know your garbage men, thank them if you get the chance or the best was if someone would leave a thank you note on there bins. it means the world to us.
czoraa21 Thank you for your hard work. It really means a lot.
czoraa21, its like all other public service workers, without you guys, we'd be a riot ridden, #1 polluted nation, dirt roads, no transport to hospitals, and no crews to put out fires. All public service and goverment service workers should be thanked, especially sanitation.
czoraa21 i used to do gigs with sanitation. Id work ten hour shifts picking up garbage and people didnt really talk to you, but I did get a couple of thanks for what it is. Now for somebody whos doing 30 years of it? Thats a good hard working man who deserves alot of respect.
Thank you for all you do! Society couldn’t run without you.
I just wanna say thank you for the work you do. A lot of people don’t understand what you do for communities, but I know you’re an important part of life. You get dirty to make the world a cleaner place.
People inspire to be doctors and lawyers and CEOs and that's good you should dream and aim as high as possible but never look down on someone for these kind of jobs because without them life would be a lot more difficult for all of us they are blessings keeping our streets clean, our communities safe and our world a better place.
But being a garbage man is one of the most under-appreciated jobs on the planet. And I won't job, where I spend the rest of my life, being taken for granted.
Well said.... Having grown up in NYC....I totally understand....how...people don't appreciate certain jobs... no matter when we may live.....
Sigh it's good to know someone here understands. Even I myself don't just want cash, I want a job where I can earn everyone's trust and respect like these guys did!
A wise comment and a true one.
Also cause some people don't want to be lawyers or doctors.some people are happy we're they are :)
"Take pride in what you do."
Noob Sandwich
Especially when it makes people's lives easier.
Amen
Absolutely
Shout out to the little people who make our days easier every day! You are the true mvps!

Why does this remind me so much about mario and luigi?
Mabel Pines whell maybe the mustache and when you think of those cinde of jobs you usualy think plumer and that stuf and they are licke a brothers
Maybe the fact that Angelo is an italian name?
"I think I could'a done another 31 years" that line hits me for some reason. Especially from someone who has a job that not usually seen from society as an example of "success" (whatever that means). It just warms my heart to see that love can come from anywhere.
I am just Coming back to say that I am SO so happy this is beginning to fall under people’s radar. Storycorps has been a favorite channel for me to revisit from time to time for years and I was always disappointed in the lack of recognition it received. Thank you all for giving them a watch!
Our people who work countless hours to keep our streets clean deserve so much better. They make our cities beautiful.
The world would be nothing without these guys. The invisible people don't get enough credit. Who would clean the streets? The lunch ladies, who would feed your kids? Nurses to check up on you and make you feel less scared before an operation. So many hard working invisible people.
+Yasmin Khan Kinda sad that guys like them don't get enough credit, but people like Kayne West, Kim K, and other celebrities get noticed for everything.
it's a sad world
Ok
Yasmin Khan I know, I bit odd, but I don't care
Yasmin Khan While Tom Brady makes 10 million for practically nothing and yet people from where I live think athletes are the hardest workers in the world, it's ridiculous!
That line from Angelo's previous partner really hits me, even to this day. It really goes to show how some normal, everyday jobs can really help so much. Some amazing wisdom from some amazing people.
NYC seems to have a better community than my small town.
Shut up
***** Why? Who the hell are you to tell me to shut up?
+ruskodisco Whay wrong did he do?
talal ahmed He's probably from the south :P
Audra Burgess 😂
“Look behind you... be proud of yourself”
Love... Whether it be friendship or family... The one... It's beautiful.
We often overlook our *ESSENTIAL Workers* 🙂
American stories are so heartwarming ik that America isn’t perfect and we have our flaws but we’re human
I hope your words still ring true to this day, I hate how divided news has us why can't they be more like StoryCorps and show the good in people
I agree with you, yet I don't mean to nag but it's not just "American" y'know? They're just good everyday conversations. They can happen all over the world. We have these amazing folk anywhere to thank for them. 😉
@@onceagain569 Well anyone can argue our strength is diversity but people can just easily fight that opinion
@@nickirmen6671 I know what you mean..
Every time Storycorp! Making my eyes water.
It's like clockwork at this point.
Bryant Mitchell They're sneaking chopped onions into your home!
TheFreakDownStreet
I wouldn't call it clockwork considering this is the first video in 6 months!
Bryant Mitchell I think it's the beauty of the animation that pushes me over the edge.
Bryant Mitchell I
Great reminder to appreciate the garbage truck drivers of the world
After watching a couple StoryCorp videos, I can honestly say they have the most realistic yet heartwarming representations of love in all its forms on youtube. Keep maing stuff like this, it's comforting to watch when you have a bad day :)
I hope Angelo is still enjoying his retirement.
I like how they drew the pigeon and the rat hugging each other. So cute!!
Ah bloody hell, these blokes made me cry. I'd love to be able to catch a drink with these guys.
Imagine the huge jobs people do that just go unthought of. Night before trash day, you put it out and someone comes picks it up. Your mail get delivered whether it's sunny, rainy, snowy. I always make sure to wave and my waste management guys and talk to my mailmen. They're super under appreciated.
People forget about these kinds of workers. They are important.
They’re so nice, also “we got nuns on our a... you know” about to curse as he’s talking about nuns🤣
Proof that every job and service is precious.
This was so sweet. Two guys, brought together through a job, who found common ground and became great friends. We could all wish to be so lucky.
TH-cam needs more channels like this, this is just the dose of wholesome I needed.
God I love this episode, always get a little weepy since both of these two seem to embody the idea of "best friends."
Reminds me of the study they did on Job vs Career vs Calling. No matter WHAT you think you calling is, do it! Not everyone is happy being a movie star or doctor. Some people recognize their sense of pride in even the little things. And that's not a bad thing. Thanks for all the people who are proud of the little things they do to make life wonderful for themselves and others.
Damn it, even the happy videos on this channel make me cry!
I completely forgot that these videos existed until they turned up on my new TH-cam channel's feed years later! So happy!
I hope that my retirement from the railroad will be like this. Have a lot of good friends, good memories, and most of all, a lot of years filled with fun.
FINALLY!! A new StoryCorps! :)
I think I got a lot more respect for garbage collectors since visiting Guyana. There's no sanitation system there (at least the part I was in), and according to my mum's old caretaker, the best you can do is give some cash to a local kid on a bike to cycle your trash off somewhere, which, most likely will be someone else's house, a person who very well might pay the kid to drive all the garbage right back to you. After experiencing the ever-present smell of plastic, it really makes it appreciable to live in a clean area.
Always make sure to Thank sanitation workers! I always thank the hospital housekeepers as they help run the show with everyone in their role they're important just as nurses are, doctors are and all staff are!
I know it's an old comment, but as a hospital housekeeper, I want to thank you for that :)
I know this was 5 years ago but I still like watching these things
I hope one day to have a friendship like this
I'm a garbage man myself so I can really relate to this story. There is nothing better than when people talk to us and tell us we are doing a good job.
What a wonderful story, it got me to think about how many people actually don't get recognized for their work.
This video is Golden!!!
Makes me PROUD to be a PUBLIC SERVICE WORKER!!!!
Gosh what the older sanitation worker said to him about taking pride in your self for cleaning up the street was really powerful. Now that’s a really good message to teach to people
The bromance in this video was at an all time high.
These people are the unsung heroes of our communities, especially in today's society.
stunningly, simply, wonderfully beautiful, yet again. well done.
Ahh old people makes me happy looking at them
It's people like Angelo and Eddie that make the world seem a little less filthy.
In more ways than one!
Beautiful old man relationship. They're just... connection like that is rare. But it is beautiful to see and hear about.
This gave me the shimmer of hope I needed today.
This is a truly beautiful story.
A job where you actually help the world: Thankless or not!
Where you have a true friend and partner to get through difficulties.
And when you're happy enough to spread love and joy and kindness just enough to get it back.
the way he says cup of coffee speaks so much to me
There's this old guy down the street from where I live currently who has a bunch of crazy stuff on his house. I've seen him working in the yards of the other people nearby (he's a gardener) and I think he was one the city council. He retired recently and he went around and told everyone on the block and he recognized me when I came to the door. I usually walk by that part of the street every day twice a day with my head phones on. He called me a nice, quiet person. I thought that was a really nice thing to say. I never really thought much of me giving a wave to some of the people on my block, I don't know any of their names. I recognize them mostly from their pets that are sometimes out in the yard and to remember who is who I remember the pets easier than the people. I have trouble with that sort of thing.
As someone who currently works as a part time custodian for a middle school this story hits me hard. Its not the most glamorous job or the best paying one but its honest work and every day I clean the classrooms the teachers always say how they appreciate how well I clean. I was recently in a car accident (Im fine btw) and the day I went back to work everyone of my co workers and some teachers asked how I was and if I was ok. It felt...nice to know people care about you and what you do. honestly im probably gonna miss working there when I find a better job eventually.
I hate all those fake animation stories but these ones seem to be true, I appreciate you and what you guys do!!
God dang, it tugs at the ol' heart strings there. Thank ya Eddie and Angelo for all your years of hard work :)
every time those story's brighten my day or remind me of what i have, it is truly touching
I've been watching these videos lately and I have to admit that they give me a little hope in myself and on others. I think to myself: "Hey the world isn't that bad..."
Glad not all of these stories are about people who friggin DIED, and not all of them have endings that rend your heart in twain.
But they still all make me cwy at de end, doe. 🥺😭😢🤧>sniff
I love this story so much, because it truly shows us that value of simply loving your job, no matter what that job is.
I love animation shorts. They are always perfect in every way.
thanks for animating these great stories storycorps!
Oh my god every story is so heartwarming it makes me think there’s faith in humanity
I was thinking, just yesterday, "Man I hope there's a new StoryCorps soon."
Friendship and a lesson got it all
Subbed, great small story. Warmed my heart.
Mario & Luigi's expressions seem like a tribute to Chuck Jones. The Grinch and Marc Anthony, the bulldog, come to mind.
even in 2019, I still love these guys and their story.
Same dude :,)
These are great stories. Stories of people you'd normally never hear and it just makes you tear up sometimes cause it shows that there are plenty of good people despite the troubles we have sometimes in the world.
It's nice to watch these animations and listen to these beautiful stories. It's really, really, really refreshing and a great juxtaposition to my average day that is typically filled with what's wrong with this world and all the evil and hate that goes on in it. Not that the problems of the world should be ignored, it's important to know some of those things so that you may right them. It's just nice to have something as simple, yet so profoundly complex in the emotions, as these animations to brighten up my day. I really hope this channel goes on for a long while.
Absolutely lovely. Love you Storycorps. :)
You gotta hand it to people who have to do one of the most seemingly unappealing jobs, and make it something meaningful. I respect guys like them. These guys make our lives easier, and we should show them kindness.
it’s such a charming story really.. an from two garbage guys-the last you’d expect it from. sets a reminder that everyone has a story, a life to share
I miss storycorps like these
The Best as always ! :)
I love this channel so much. Clicking on one of these videos is like standing in a narrow tunnel with a feel train charging directly at you. You can't dodge it.
So wholesome. Good people out there living good lives making other peoples lives good. Wish we heard more stories like this, highlighting more people like deez two jamokes
This is so lovely! I can never get enough of your videos. We are all stories. Nowadays every stranger looks interesting and I can't help but wonder about everyone I pass no matter how normal they may seem. I wonder what lives they have lived and what stories they hold. Thank you for your amazing work!
These are good men. It's also nice to finally hear about sanitation workers getting the community appreciation they deserved
I love this! I never really thought how important a garbage man was.
Always be proud of what you accomplish
You don't know how much it can mean to someone else
It’s good to have friends
Wow with the Seen throw up on the garage door! Kudos to whoever's animating for paying awesome attention to detail! Especially love the animations for Danny in Danny and Annie, too good.
Woah holy crap a Zephyr piece too! And JA, Sane.....very cool
I like really do like these stories they remind me they're are still good people and I guess I don't get enough off that
Love these feel good stories after being bombarded with negativity from news in main stream media.
This is nice, the higher ups don't appreciate the hard work of the working class. Please have respect for people like them, after all if everyone were kings and emperors who would be taking care of the land and growing food, keeping the streets clean and teaching the masses? Remember everyone appreciate the work of people like these. From first responders, teachers, sanitation workers, retail workers, and even cooks. Appreciate these guys, they do a lot for all.
StoryCorps gets me through my day. Please, never stop doing this. It's just something about each story that just gets me in a good mood every time. Huge shoutout to actor Chris Evans. (You know, Captain America)... He once tweeted a story. Been hooked ever since. Peace & love to us all! ✌😊
You know, I don't know why I bother watching these at work. I always end up crying and that just cements the "weird girl who cries over her paperwork" role I get to play in office politics.
That's adorable.
Maybe you should show these videos to your coworkers so they can get feels too.
Whenever a child has a dream job or a career they want to do, either be a police officer or lawyer, but never hear one say "I wanna be a garbage man". It truly shows how much many of us under appreciate the work they do and take our garbage for granted. Being a garbageman may not be grand like a police officer, nor as glorious as say a music idol, hell it's not the cleanest, but they are the heroes we don't put much attention to.
We always take our garbage to the curb, but none of us give it a second thought of where it all goes nor do we care. Without garbagemen there to keep our streets clean, we wouldn't be living a luxurious life. We should be thankful to all the unappreciated workers who truly make our lives better, even it means getting their hands dirty.
This is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.
I hope I have a friendship like this in the future
Sanitation workers are soooo important! *Thank you for all that you do*
Awww... so sweet...
it's the little things in life, that makes me happy!
I love these little stories of people's experiences and every day lives it's a lovely channel and heart warming to watch .keep it up
Best of Wee Pals for Ten whole Years.
Yet, Friendship Can Never be Broken.
After the 31 years I felt sorry for Angelo Retirement, Dat got my Soul Sad.
Favorite channel uploads on a long day Amazing way to end a day thank you
Lovr a person who takes a pride in their craft
This channel is way better then those fake story time channels where there like oh my gosh my aunt died and her ghost came to me.
