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”

    Recycling is cool and all but pretty much all the plastic that goes in those bins ends up in the ocean or landfill

    Instead there should be a glass bin, an organics bin, and a landfill bin

      Getting off topic here but metals and paper too. We don’t have organics bins here. Only in the past few years has a third party service become available.
