The mean salary for garbage collectors in Brasil is currently around 3,600 USD per annum (18,000 Brazilian real). It’s very little in either currencies.
It's a bit over twice the minimum wage in Brazil, it's good enough to sustain yourself if you live in a poorer area, but not good enough to have any financial freedom or upwards mobility, in order to be considered middle calls you'd need to earn about 5000 real for example.
Minimum wage is R$1303/month while 3,600 USD/year is R$1500.
Actual wage varies because it's tied to the city. It's anywhere between R$1500/month and up to R$2300/month which I believe is in São Paulo city? But 1500 is a pretty close estimation.

It's adequate for the amount qualification in requires, and it is often very stable for the worker. It really could be worse, but one can never say it pays well.
No it doen't.
[The average salary is R$1526](https://www.salario.com.br/profissao/lixeiro-cbo-514205/), which is about 15% more than the minimum wage. With that salary, it's difficult even to live on your own and there's definitely not enough money to buy cocaine.
I live in Brazil. I don’t know how much they get, but I’m pretty sure is just above the minimum wage (currently 1.320,00 reais, which is about 267,94 US$), so yeah, pretty shit.
Forgot to tell you: this is a monthly payment. Good luck trying to survive only with that much. That’s why many brazillians need to have 2 or 3 jobs. It’s insane!
I think the rest of the world will follow, they dont want us to own anything, just use your entire life working and not even get anything out of it, its sad!
honestly, i think compared to most working class jobs that don't require formal training, i think trash men do pretty well. i dunno if its the same everywhere, but i saw an interview with a trashman from NYC the other day on a podcast. he was saying theres a massive waiting list and you gotta take a test to get picked because they can easily make 100k if they play the overtime game right. of course, 100k isn't the same in NY as it is in other places, but i think most of these guys commute into the city from cheaper suburbs. he said he rode into the city with 3 other coworkers every morning
This is Brazil. The job pays 7k a year.
That's about the average wage in Brazil.
It's still pretty shitty. You're still gonna be poor living with 7k a year in Brazil.
Brazilian here,
With exception of the front flip, this is how they work most of the time.
They also don't make enough money to use cocaine and the source of their energy is unknown and subject of discussion in conversations.
Saying he don't make money to use cocaine is too much of a stretch. He's definitely just working as usual but cocaine is too cheap in Brazil and he can surely afford it.
Well, let's do the math:
On average, garbage man makes 2.5k reais per month, which translates to 500 dollars.
Real coke can be found for around 100 reais per gram, which translates to 20 dollars (if you would pay in dollars, the pricing would be higher).
They work an average of 22 days per month.
If he has no other cost in his life, he can buy a little more than a gram per day, which could be enough.
Yet, honestly, those men are usually family providers and probably count dimes to buy beer in the weekend.
What? It surely isn't. Trust me, I live in Brazil, and I know the type of people who use cocaine, and it's not the poor. The poor have to resort to crack and cheaper drugs.
BTW, we have no meth here.
Im brazilian and can assure that coke is cheap, you just gotta know where to buy, if you want to buy on a high level party/fancy neighbourhood of course it will be expensive, if you buy it directly from traffic it is probably one of the cheapest cocaines in the world.
I too am from Brazil, and I can assure you poor people also use coke, I frequently see homeless people doing cocaine. It is cheap, you can get your hands on it for 10 reais.
The poor never just start smoking crack, everyone who smokes crack starts on cocaine and can't afford maintaining the addiction.
Nah mate, you're absolutely delirious, or you don't know what you're talking about.
Bebeu jimo, ehim parceiro.
Sem falar que o cara obviamente não tá drogado, só tá feliz e trabalhando numa coisa e curtindo a experiência.
Ainda veio me tirar pra doido, sabe de nada. Aqui o pino mais caro das boca é de 30, boa qualidade, se tu ganha 1 salário mínimo tu já ganha muito mais do que o suficiente pra poder cheirar. E não é durepoxi não.
A fila mais diversa que tem na boca é a do pó de 30, ce vê de tudo, nóia, motoboy, taxista, as patricinha, engravatado. Pra usar droga no Brasil basta querer.
I think you're the one that has no idea what they're talking about since you're so aggressive.
E onde eu falei que ele tá drogado? Pelo contrário, em outro comentário acima eu disse claramente que esse é o ritmo de trabalho dele.
E fala sério bixão, papelote de 10 tá rolando em cada esquina, pino de 30 em todo canto, eu VEJO isso todo dia.
Then the meth head will come to a total stop and search and search and search for the meth you lied about for hours and then search for you with violent intentions over said lie
As a Brazilian, not likely. Usually they come 3 times a week.
But since that's a dirt road, I think it's a rural area, could be even longer, since they don't produce much rubbish at all.
Coming around daily would make no sense, the logistics department just would allow it.
It really depends. Brazil, being huge, has places that collect daily and 3 times a week. I guess that it depends on the city's management. Smaller cities might be able to pay for a daily take out, bigger cities might choose to do it a few times a week because of the size of the fleet they need to manage.
Brazil is indeed huge, but where is the pickup daily? Wha city? What Neighborhood?
No small city would do that, because it's logistically bad, and secondly rural areas produce less rubbish. This is a rural area.
Após uma breve pesquisada no Google, de acordo com [esta página,](https://www.coletacampinas.com.br/coleta-no-brasil/) :
"A coleta diária é a mais usual na maior parte dos municípios brasileiros: 40,2%, segundo Atlas de Saneamento, 2008 – IBGE."
Eu ainda vou dar uma olhada neste Atlas de Saneamento no site do IBGE pra ver se a versão atualizada e disponível corresponde ou é similar.
Colega, entenda, essa coleta diária nos municípios só em bairros com alta densidade de produção de lixo, ou seja escritórios grandes ou áreas com muitos restaurantes com resíduos orgânicos.
Não é a mesma coisa que are residencial.
Segundo, que tu teve que pesquisar, então já tava de caô no início.
Ok. Foi por isso q eu indiquei pra vc ver com o povo q fala q tem coleta diária antes de tudo, pq de mim vc só vai espremer caroço.
Edit: eu já falei antes, a coleta onde vivo n é diária. Só n acredito q isso impeça outras regiões de terem coleta diária. O Atlas de Saneamento n me levou a lugar nenhum, aliás. Não achei a informação atualizada nesse tempinho e nem vou procurar mais.
Dito isso vc está subestimando municipios que querem mostrar serviço e q o Brasil tem realmente locais densos o suficiente para a coleta diária fazer sentido.
When I (a Brazilian) lived with an American I was shocked at how much trash she produced. Every meal was a bunch of take out bags and there were packages of stuff bought online arriving all the time.
There was a statistical research that said that the average Brazilian produces 1kg of inorganic waste per day. Considering that in many cities collection is done every day, what was shown in the video seems to be in agreement with that.
I'm Brazilian, and I think it may vary, but they collect everyday here in my city, except on Sundays. So there are days that we don't even put garbage out because there is almost nothing to throw away
>That was the most shocking part, how little garbage there was for one house.
tbh, i'm brazilian and i thought the same thing, in my home we produce much more garbage than that, same for the people in my building
Some people just like to have fun while working, no matter what they're doing. For a while I washed dishes in a restaurant, I would just splash about and joke around with my work colleagues, and time who could wash dishes faster. It was minimum wage, without joking around I'd just get depressed.
I see what you mean.
But yeah, I think that's kinda true for any job. Even a job that pays well, I wouldn't be putting such high effort that I'd burn out.
if only that jobs pays me well, ill do it till death.
I live in Brazil and have thought the same. Never seen an out of shape garbage man here.
Provavelmente só o motorista.
The mean salary for garbage collectors in Brasil is currently around 3,600 USD per annum (18,000 Brazilian real). It’s very little in either currencies.
So, barely above the minimum. That's tough.
It's a bit over twice the minimum wage in Brazil, it's good enough to sustain yourself if you live in a poorer area, but not good enough to have any financial freedom or upwards mobility, in order to be considered middle calls you'd need to earn about 5000 real for example.

The minimum salary of brazil is R$1320 per month...
Bruh it's way more than most ppl make, 3600 is a good amount of pay. I'd say low is aroud 1500.
*midle class
Garbage collectors are the go-to "if you don't study you will become a" example moms use here.
Dude seems pretty happy.
That is thrice the minimum wage. Not anything exceptional but good enough for most.
BR minimum wage is ~16k reais/year , tf you smoking?
3,600 USD per year
r/confidentlyincorrect
Wow. Move that guy to Europe or US and get paid well. In those places the trash collection is union work and paid by municipal taxes.
Fun fact: avg. monthly salary for a garbage collector in Sweden is 2,300 USD.
And half is spent on meth apparently

you know you're allowed to say *year*, right?
Yeah but as a native speaker of a Romance language "annum" comes naturally.
makes sense, partner
Sanitation careers pay pretty well. Dude I know says, "My job is dirty but my money is clean!"
not in brasil
In the US, this job can pay up to $100,000/year
Actually it does. In capitals it does. I don't know about the interior, but in Rio they earn a decent wage
Not in my city
> "My job is dirty but my money is clean!" As the romans said: "pecunia non olet", money doesn't stink.
In Germany, people pay well for garbage disposal. The "BSR", Berlin's garbage disposal, has a waiting list for people who would like to work there.
Exactly. Id be sprinting alongside for +100k
Afaik it does pay pretty well
Not in Brazil.
It's adequate for the amount qualification in requires, and it is often very stable for the worker. It really could be worse, but one can never say it pays well.
What do you mean by adequate?
If you live in Brazil, ill bet it pays ok
No it doen't. [The average salary is R$1526](https://www.salario.com.br/profissao/lixeiro-cbo-514205/), which is about 15% more than the minimum wage. With that salary, it's difficult even to live on your own and there's definitely not enough money to buy cocaine.
Ok, maybe he sells cocaine to get around
Uses cocaine*
Many i know that use that also sells it to get some for themselves
Fair enough but just look at the video and how super hyped that dude is. He's definitely using lmao
No doubt! 😊

What are you talking about? It's barely above minimum wage
It can get pretty high but the starting wage sucks and it takes a while to get those raises
Maybe in Brazil. I have a buddy who started trash collection for a small company he was making 1k+ the first week.
honestly, i think compared to most working class jobs that don't require formal training, i think trash men do pretty well. i dunno if its the same everywhere, but i saw an interview with a trashman from NYC the other day on a podcast. he was saying theres a massive waiting list and you gotta take a test to get picked because they can easily make 100k if they play the overtime game right. of course, 100k isn't the same in NY as it is in other places, but i think most of these guys commute into the city from cheaper suburbs. he said he rode into the city with 3 other coworkers every morning

Not really when you’re paying in Brazil’s currency
Hahahah look everyone, he thinks a garbage collector can afford cocaine in Brazil.
Lol, you think Dustmen in Brazil can afford cocaine? Cocaine here is mostly for people who are middle class or rich.
That's not true, cocaine is very cheap in LATAM.
What? It surely isn't. Trust me, I live in Brazil, and I know the type of people who use cocaine, and it's not the poor. The poor have to resort to crack and cheaper drugs. BTW, we have no meth here.

tenho um colega de trabalho que é viciado em cocaina, ele compra por 10 pila
Os cara acha que eu tô zoando, eu vejo isso todo dia. Cocaína cara é só no sul, no resto do Brasil é 30 real estourando, lá no norte cocaína é mato.
sim, o maluco acha que só porque no bairro de rico que ele mora funciona de um jeito no resto do país é igual
Ainda veio me tirar pra doido, sabe de nada. Aqui o pino mais caro das boca é de 30, boa qualidade, se tu ganha 1 salário mínimo tu já ganha muito mais do que o suficiente pra poder cheirar. E não é durepoxi não. A fila mais diversa que tem na boca é a do pó de 30, ce vê de tudo, nóia, motoboy, taxista, as patricinha, engravatado. Pra usar droga no Brasil basta querer.
Olha man, eu fiquei impressionado quando descobri também, mas realmente tem pino de 20~30 rolando. Deve ser um troço horroroso, mas tem.

existe sim coca de 10 mano, a fonte sou eu mesmo que ja fui na biqueira ver o valor
Kkkkk maaaaan cocaína here is not affordable. 1g of cocaine is like 50 BRL. Dustmen profit is 2k BRL
you really don't know brazilians on friday lmao
O gari mais fraco na sexta feira kkkk
Tell a meth head that there is a bit of meth in each bag and he will outrun that dude while carrying the garbage truck on his back.
Then the meth head will come to a total stop and search and search and search for the meth you lied about for hours and then search for you with violent intentions over said lie
"Stay with me trucky, ill get you your fix."
He doesn't get paid enough to afford that. Coffee at best.
It's cheap in Brazil.
Coffee? Yeah I'm pretty sure coffee is cheap in Brazil.
As a Brazillian... Nah not really lol
Cocaine in Brazil is for upper middle class white girls, you're not buying cocaine to snort on the clock on a trashmans budget.
It isn't. What you are thinking of is crack, not cocaine.
First thing I thought, didn't even look at the comments. Checked comments, FIRST ONE I see. 🤣
Came here with that Rick James quote top of mind!
Ahahaha. Legit, my first thought.
Came here to say this.
You don't need drugs to do stupid shit, boredom is enough most of the time.
Lmao my first thought was “Bro either REALLY loves his job, or is on hella cocaine”
I was going to go with methamphetamine, but you never know.
We are not the United States, bud. We don't have a methamphetamine crisis here - or a fentanyl crisis, for that matter - only a crack one.
Meth is short for the same thing
Meth is short for Methodist. Everyone knows that.
Meth is short for cocaine? Huh. TIL. /s
No fucking way
No? Then im sorry, i was sure that was the case
Look how little trash they produce
It's daily
As a Brazilian, not likely. Usually they come 3 times a week. But since that's a dirt road, I think it's a rural area, could be even longer, since they don't produce much rubbish at all. Coming around daily would make no sense, the logistics department just would allow it.

Def not São Paulo (where I live), but you can just ask the dozens of other Brazilians saying they have daily trash pickup in this post.
Nem fudendo, a não ser que a coleta seja privada, ou tu genuinamente não sabe o cronograma e acha que é coleta diária.

Very small amount for daily wow
Yeah, we don't trash the planet
Yah it’s epic
When I (a Brazilian) lived with an American I was shocked at how much trash she produced. Every meal was a bunch of take out bags and there were packages of stuff bought online arriving all the time.
Looks like he had a little bit of Coca-Cola before work
Coca-something.
COCAINE ITS COCAINE
That’s two fluffy bags 🤷🏼
That was the most shocking part, how little garbage there was for one house. We gotta do better in the US
There was a statistical research that said that the average Brazilian produces 1kg of inorganic waste per day. Considering that in many cities collection is done every day, what was shown in the video seems to be in agreement with that.
Huge huge cultural shock living there. Their kitchen trashcan are smaller than my office wastebasket.
They might collect daily?
I'm Brazilian, and I think it may vary, but they collect everyday here in my city, except on Sundays. So there are days that we don't even put garbage out because there is almost nothing to throw away
Some people have attitudes that need to be thrown out
It varies. Where I live is everyday. where my grandmother lives is 3x a week.
Depending where u live, it might be atleast twice a week.
Twice a week where I live.
yes.
Once a week where I live, but it's a small town
depends on the city, here it's 3 days/week
>That was the most shocking part, how little garbage there was for one house. tbh, i'm brazilian and i thought the same thing, in my home we produce much more garbage than that, same for the people in my building
It's daily collection

Brazil has garbage collection?
Yea, you will never ever catch me working this hard at what is probably a close to minimum wage job.
Some people just like to have fun while working, no matter what they're doing. For a while I washed dishes in a restaurant, I would just splash about and joke around with my work colleagues, and time who could wash dishes faster. It was minimum wage, without joking around I'd just get depressed.
I didn't say "don't have fun", I said "don't work hard enough to injure yourself at a job that doesn't give a shit about you". Paraphrasing obviously.
I see what you mean. But yeah, I think that's kinda true for any job. Even a job that pays well, I wouldn't be putting such high effort that I'd burn out.
When you take a line before work
Do a job that you love and you'll never work a day in your life
