An image of two garbage collectors. One in the foreground is walking towards the garbage truck while pulling a yellow recycling bin. Another garbage collector is in the back of the truck with their hands raised in a friendly way. The words of the meme are "THERE'S NO OFFICIAL TRAINING FOR GARBAGE COLLECTORS. THEY HAVE TO PICK IT UP AS THEY GO ALONG"

True, but jokes aside those trash cans are heavy, like they have good strength.

Here in the UK, the bins have wheels and the truck hooks into them and lifts them. They just wheel it to the vehicle

In Canada they don't even have to get out of the trucks anymore except when people fail at simple tasks like proper spacing between compost and garbage bins or someone parks too close.

Not sure how often that is. Probably an annoying percentage.

Where I live it's the same, the machine does all the work. But there's always one or two dudes that walk ahead of the truck and make sure it's all positioned and spaced correctly. Especially in the city where streets can be narrow and there isn't enough room, they end up just wheeling the bins into the machine a couple at a time.
