If that’s true, and I don’t really know, it’s probably only in some wealthy cities in the USA. I’m pretty sure garbage collection is among the worst jobs in most countries… but again I could be totally wrong.

It’s true in some cities:

TIL If you throw in overtime, garbage collectors can make up to $85,000 a year in the United States.

But because of unions/mafia almost impossible to get those jobs in some cities, like NYC

From the Reddit comments….

“I applied a few years a ago, I was one of fifty applicants for three open positions.”

“The chances of working for the sanitation department in NYC is like winning a fucking lottery.”

“Yep, I’m number five thousand and something on the list. I think you can make more than 85k here in NYC though with seniority and OT”

In Seattle, going compensation was $109,000/year and that 14 fucking years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/bufoy/109000_yr_isnt_enough_for_the_garbage_men/
