#trashcollection — Public Fediverse posts

"Across the world today, the people who run large companies and city budgets seem to have forgotten what they knew in their youth, and they disregard the sanitation workers who keep us all from drowning in our own filth. They cut corners on safety, refuse to raise wages, and try their best to keep trash collectors doing dirty, dangerous work for peanuts. And so labor wars break out, in cities from New York to Birmingham to Chennai, as the garbage workers are forced to go on strike. It’s been happening for centuries, but 2025 has been a landmark year for sanitation strikes, and for the ruling classes’ opposition to them.

Politicians and the police have conspired to keep the workers down, the billionaire-owned media have spread propaganda against them, and scab laborers from their own cities have betrayed them for the sake of a quick buck (or quid, or rupee). Still, the garbage workers fight on. Theirs is one of the most important labor struggles of all, and one everybody ought to support to the hilt. It’s obvious, but it bears repeating: the people who do society’s most basic and vital work ought to be paid well and respected for it. Anyone who stands on the opposite side of that particular picket line belongs in the bin with the rest of the trash.
(...)
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “refuse and recyclable material collector” is the fourth most deadly job in the United States today, behind only roofing, commercial hunting and fishing, and logging. Interestingly, “police officer” doesn’t crack the top 10—so for all the “thin blue line” sloganeering, garbage workers are objectively braver and more deserving of praise than cops. They get hit by cars a lot, and as climate change continues to ramp up, more and more of them suffer from extreme heat exhaustion. In 2023 alone, 41 of them were killed on the job."

Warum ich wohl bei der #Müllsammelaktion nicht mitmachen darf...?
I wonder why I'm not allowed to take part in the #trashcollection campaign...?

One of the cons of a bike commute is you know _exactly_ on what day everyone in Cambridge decided to leave out their stinkiest garbage for trash collection.

Of course it's on a day when it's 90F and 90% humidity 🤢

#bikeCommute #cambridgeMA #trash #trashCollection

Mad respect to all the #SanitationWorkers picking up our garbage on these hot days. I don't know how they deal with the odor. For that alone, they deserve respect and good pay.

Seriously. I hope you're all getting the compensation you deserve.
