Rest of the country picks up trash using hydraulic arms of the trash truck. NYC still makes humans pick them up wearing down their backs prematurely.

There is still a lot of trash services around the US that pickup trash manually

Wouldn’t work for how NYC’s population density is. They’d need a ton of bins, they would have to have designated parking spaces on garbage day that are for bins so basically you can’t park in 4 spaces or more for a day each week and then if your can is blocked the driver has to get out and move the bin so he can grab it with the arm. There’s many things that would go wrong with being automated out there. Hence it being manual pickup

This wouldn’t work in NY

That’s not fair, more women should be a part of this important work!

Mmmm! I’m actually thinking that a vast majority is shipped over sea and into massive waste landfill.. the garbage is also shipped to China where poor families separate your Tv diner plastic to your plastic fresh meat plastic trays… The amount of waste we produce is out of line and we should be so ashamed ☹️
