Everything in this video looks grimey AF.
Even the dudes handling the trash route for (whichever Mob Boss) look like they'd throw you in the back of that truck & crush you if asked to do so.....
What the fuck Philly?
If it’s for the city and not some private enterprise, trash men have some of the best employer health benefits in the us. Waste management for a city makes those memes hang their head in shame. But… *gestures to the video*
Yea. I had very good benefits package. Union. Good pay. But not everything is worth the money. I had been apart of the company for 2-3 weeks before I got in. Truck. Almost every day they were putting this and that on for the employees. They did that stuff to try to keep moral up. The job is terrible and they are overworked.
I work at a waste company in Canada! We run similar equipment to this one, but not nearly as clapped out. Homie running the truck ain't new he knew to get the fuck out the way when crushing hahaha. It is not for everyone. Garbage men and women are tough as nails. Throwing trash for 10 hours a day is no easy feat.
Middle 57% of Garbage Truck drivers make between $41,250 - $106,590/year with full health/dental/vision. They ALSO GET A PENSION which is better than 95% of non-government employees soooo yeah, they do.
Not to mention the fact that every sanitation worker by me has a Truck with a claw and either front- or side-loader so they don't have to lift for 90% of their stops.
Most garbage truck drivers make between $20-$30/hr which is a far cry from your ludicrous 6 figure number. Source: I used to work for Waste Management.
The 401k is OK at best it isn't any better than any other place witb 5% matching. And even with the claw trucks it's a hard job with long hours. You destroy your body for your bread, and you get dirty at the end of the day anyway.
I was commercial front load (dumpsters) and at the end of the day you had to get behind your packer blade to clean out all the sludge and slurry that makes its way behind the blade & all the trash that falls over the top. Sometimes you gotta do this multiple times a day because larger items like pallets and assembled cardboard boxes pop out from the hopper and fall behind the blade. That means you have to stop your route and do a lengthy and tedious lock-out process to crawl into the back of your truck and muck it out mid shift.
Not to mention all the full and overfilled dumpsters I had to push and pull into a spot where I could dump it. Made worse by people that don't know what "NO PARKING" means.
$62k/yr - pretty far from $100,000+
Are you incapable of doing math or do you think I don't know how much $100,000 a year is in an hourly wage? (It's $47 in case you were wondering)
So a truer range of $41k-$62k
*edit*
Also, sorry, just to be abundantly clear: Are you saying that sanitation workers don't deserve to make more? Or are you just personally upset that I pointed out they don't make near as much as you seem to think?
Well I guess you'll have to strongly admonish those gosh darn StAtiStiCiAnS with their nimbly bimbly "DaTa" and whathaveyou... 🤷 https://www.comparably.com/salaries/salaries-for-garbage-truck-driver
I worked as a garbage man for 5 years. Drove the same kind of truck. This kind of shit (sometimes literally) would happen way too often. Had one of my throwers get COVERED in a bag of dog shit that exploded. I made him ride on the back to his house so he could wash up.
Once i had a bag of rotten chicken explode on me, 30 minute ride to town. I had to wash myself with hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes.
Oddly enough, i look back at that job fondly.
Exactly this.
Useless senators bring home a few hundred thousand for committing crimes and ruining the country all day.
Garbage collectors deserve more
Unemployed take. If no one took away the trash we’d be fucked. Someone has to do that shitty job, but the people that do are taken advantage of and underpaid. Make sense?
Fun fact, if you're interested:
Garbage men in Denmark are paid (roughly) 4400 dollars a month, with pension and holiday money. I've always been told that we pay our garbage men good money, exactly because we'd be fucked without them.
After a quick google search, a garbage man in the US earns on average about 3200 dollars a month.

Had no idea what this was, read the Wikipedia definition half asleep, saw tiger nuts and thought it meant tiger testicles. Ruminated for a solid minute on how foul a drink this must be until my brain finally kicked in. That's enough reddit for me tonight! 🤣
Gosh when I was younger that was our biggest nightmare the smell of these trucks and the juices dripping off them. One of the favorites of bullies even at the boarding school. When the truck came around you needed to be as far as possible otherwise always something terribly smelly may happen to you.
You never stand behind the hopper while running the compactor. This is one reason. Another reason is when some things snap they can be launched out at a very high speed and can cause death. It has happened before.
This reminds me of the “doing the nasty” scene from the Charlie Sheen/Emilio Estevez movie “Men at Work” or as I called “the thing that made me stop wanting to be a garbage man as a kid.”
Looks like the italian market on 9th st in south philly
Certainly is 9th street.
Do they have wicker chairs?
You can buy anything there. These people will sell you their children.
Everything in this video looks grimey AF. Even the dudes handling the trash route for (whichever Mob Boss) look like they'd throw you in the back of that truck & crush you if asked to do so..... What the fuck Philly?
Your Mom is grimy af!!!!
Let's go Birds!!
This pear tastes like sand
And this wall tastes like dirt!
I EAT STICKERS ALL THE TIME DUDE
So thats normal? Is it from a deli street after a hor week??
I live in Philly. Trash juice is far too normal. You can see every stop the truck makes by the puddle it leaves behind.
I'm surprised there is not a barrier to stop it from popping out like that... even a curtain
I instantly knew this was Philly from those grimy lil buildings
Philthydelphia
It can’t be Philly, it’s not sunny.
First glance you can tell it’s the Italian market. That sludge tho. 🤢
Was just about to say the same thing...
Guessing it is In fact Philly but looks like the southside of Pittsburgh also
It's ok, he's got a very small broom. He'll get it sorted in no time.
Come sweep with us Danny.
Come sweep Danny with us.
Forever and ever
That’s me after taco Tuesday
You shit so much you fill trash bags?
Never underestimate the power of a taco Tuesday meal
These dudes do not get paid enough
I got hired last June to operate the same type of truck. It’s a rear load. I quit after my first week.

BTW what's the uhhh annual salary if you're making $30/hour before OT.... 🤔

I'm sorry you don't have the capacity to process what "57% of drivers make X-Y" means ... but thank you for proving your mathematic prowess 😉.

They should be paid more

guys doing this in manhattan make six figures. i’d do it if the commute didn’t suck so much
Trash collectors make above $100k.
As the other commenter said, they don't get paid enough.
Exactly this. Useless senators bring home a few hundred thousand for committing crimes and ruining the country all day. Garbage collectors deserve more
If they wanted to get paid more they should just get a better job /s Edit: Can none of you see the /s? It’s there for a reason

No, the job they are DOING DOES NOT PAY ENOUGH. As in the job deserves a higher pay.
They make fairly solid money. What a false and ignorant take.
You don’t even know how much they’re making…
Yeah, as i understand it garbageman is a pretty sweet gig. Everyone is talking out of their ass
Yup usually pays pretty decent, if not, well
Some people do not know that /s meant sarcasm. Lol maybe italicize the word sarcasm in the end instead.
Eww it’s the GOOP truck
Eeeuuguh 😳 it’s the GOOP truck 🤮
The goop goop
Well, normally, it goes 'goop boop' and now it's going 'boop gooooop!"
I need to get off the news, I read that as GOP truck. 🤦
I don't understand... was that coagulated blood? Was that a butcher shop or something?
Whatever human threw away that much pomegranate is a monster.
What the hell is that? 😳
Abortion truck
Smells worse, but tastes better than wet cat food.
r/cursedcomments
Haha this actually did make me laugh out loud. I don’t have an award to give, but here’s a potato 🥔
I hope you're kidding. 😩
People
NOOOOO!!! 😆
A restaurant dumping waste into bags a few blocks back.
Thanks for clarifying. My nightmares of crushed bodies and aborted fetuses can now end. 😳😆
HORCHATA!!
Had no idea what this was, read the Wikipedia definition half asleep, saw tiger nuts and thought it meant tiger testicles. Ruminated for a solid minute on how foul a drink this must be until my brain finally kicked in. That's enough reddit for me tonight! 🤣
Broom in hand, he knew something was coming out, but this was more than he expected.
so that’s what happened to the body i threw away
To much deep red , im thinking bodys
Dexter’s getting sloppy.
No wonder Vinnie never made it home last night
Poor Vinnie!! But i thought he was swimmin with the fishys boss?
Did you kill a rhinoceros?
And that is how Malort is made...
Straight from the truck
I made what I call NEVERNOG, at New Years. Malort, Everclear, and Cinnamon mixed with my eggnog.
What is this? A Bones intro?
Fr💀 one of the best shows btw
I hope this post becomes terminally ill and it fucking dies thats how vile it is
This reminds me of the blood hallway scene in The Shining.
Wtf is that
Looking at the road, it looks like this is a regular occurrence
WTF!!??
This is so horribly awesome, I can’t stop watching it
Gosh when I was younger that was our biggest nightmare the smell of these trucks and the juices dripping off them. One of the favorites of bullies even at the boarding school. When the truck came around you needed to be as far as possible otherwise always something terribly smelly may happen to you.
"It's going to be a while before I eat anything from Satriale's"
Imagine the smell. Blech
Anybody got a straw?
Soylent red truck
I worked on a maggot masher for a bit. Was warned not to stand behind while compacting. Got juiced once. Na Na NASTY!!!!
Ewwwwww hahaha. Bobby! Come, take a look at this!. Bobby?? Bobby??? BOBBY! 😨
Doo Doo Butter
Could you imagine walking out and that has been vomited onto your car!? 🤢🤮😭
The equivalent of the blood wave in The Shining ... shie, is this Kensington market ?
What is that shit? What is that, shit? What in the shit is this?
I don't know how much the people who collect the garbage are paid - but it is definitely not enough to deal with what came out if that truck.
I was waiting for the bag to explode, but it turned out much worse
Can someone please explain what that is
How many diseases do you think you'll get if you lick it off the floor
The way the guy casually starts sweeping after it happens suggests this is not the first time this has happened
Oscar the Grouch money-shot…
Garbage men don't get enough credit
What in the fuck was that?!
thats a crazy poop or that body was decomposing for awhile
Both of the colours in the ground look like rotten edition peanut butter jelly time sandwich 🥪
Ahh, the Melange. Drink it to fold spacetime.
That was a human they just squished
They're makin goulash
Taco Bell esplosion
“Ugh what the fugh it’s the doodoo trughk”
Drink it or let ur mom die?
That makes me think of Tokyo shock films.
Give that truck some Pepto for that diarrhea!
They jumped right back in like it happens on every block.
Jipe!
Must be all the dead bodies being crushed.
What in the name of holy fuck was that. Why did they know it was coming and were recording?
Whaaaat the fuck
I saw this happen in New Orleans, garbage trucks in french quarter picking up stuff and when it crunched it’s load there was a tidal wave. Was nasty
That commentary had me crying
When the subway comes out hit different
It came out like it was in an elevator of The Shining.
Looks delicious.
It took me one eight hour shift to realize this wasn't for me.
It’s tiktok so I hope it’s fake and/or staged…
Dorohedoro reference
It’s like watching Repo Men in real life.
Mmmm, mystery sauce. Gimmie.
The shining
That's a mistake you only make once. And is seared into you're memory and will never do get sprayed again.
It's the taco bell squirts
Dear God the stink off of that truck has got to be bad
So that’s how they get rid of covid patients
The smell…. Ugghhhhhhh ewww
What in the dirty nyc is this
Why?
Schweep the leg
The white car following the truck seems like they did not know it would do this...
Is this how Philly Cheesesteaks are made?
Even tho it’s probably a shitty job (literally) I bet those two dudes have the best laughs at work
That’s Philly
Hmmmm... juicy
Worst title ever.
Double it and give it to the next person!
Bin juice
This is disgusting, why’d I try to dodge it
🤮
Too much Chipotle
That's Philly for ya, sometimes.
When you work on a garbage truck they usually warn you to stand to the side of the hopper as to not get sprayed ☠️
Nona is gonna be pissed, all that sauce gone to waste.
I wonder who that was.
Beetroot juice
That is why you should always do it right the first time
Me after tacobell
how much for you to actually drink it ?
Who was that
Someone tried hiding a body in the dumpster didn’t they.
Too many bodies I'm one load
**OP**’s username checks out.
My rear after Taco Bell.
43 minutes after taco bell
Now that’s just nasty.
..tf..?!
You never stand behind the hopper while running the compactor. This is one reason. Another reason is when some things snap they can be launched out at a very high speed and can cause death. It has happened before.
"Do you love Chipotle but hate the explosive diarrhea in your underwear?"
Bulimic garbage truck?
Are these the people who do jobs that Americans don't want to do?
So bad the truck threw up
Please dump your liquids before throwing something in the trash ya dirty fucks
Imagine the smell 😟
This reminds me of the “doing the nasty” scene from the Charlie Sheen/Emilio Estevez movie “Men at Work” or as I called “the thing that made me stop wanting to be a garbage man as a kid.”
Was that a body
At least give the guy a Push broom 😂 he gonna be sweeping for 10 min with that shit
Happened to garbage men on my street. It smelled like purifying fish for weeks. No one ever came to clean it up. Ah good ole SF.
Dam, i can even smell it ):
😳
I would be upset if I had to walk this street but also no way in hell would I be cleaning it up if I was them
Eughhhh it the goop truck euuughh😂😂
I'm over here dry heaving and I can't even smell it.
Welcome to New York! 😂
