Make no mistake, there are no "garbage women", the one or two females a whole company might have are just tokens. You know I'm right.

Michelle, you have no idea how much I appreciate this video. I've worked in the trash industry for about 15 years now and I am SO EXCITED to see someone like you with such a large platform show how how hard this job is and what amazing people my coworkers are! I work in the office, so I don't busy my tush like the drivers do, but I know what wonderful, hard-working, and dedicated people they all are. This IS a very dangerous and thankless job. I've seen my guys and gals be injured, seen truck fires, awful wrecks caused by the carelessness of others, and (unfortunately) lost wonderful coworkers far too soon due to the dangers of the job. In the years I've been in this industry I have met wonderful friends and gained too many new 'family' members to count them all. These folks would give me, or anyone else, the shirt off their back, their time, and their wisdom without a second thought and I can't thank them enough for everything we've shared over the years. It's a dirty, smelly, thankless job and I am INCREDIBLY blessed to call all of these wonderful, amazing people my friends and chosen family. To the garbage men and women, sanitation workers of the world, thank you all for all you do. Your hard work is not unnoticed.

Jackson, Mississippi, let their garbage collection contract expire over the weekend. Residents are beginning to see what you are talking about.

That ending made me cry. As someone who does not regularly seperate their trash correctly, I didn't know the impact that it caused just because of something that wouldv'e taken 2 seconds to do. I also never really saw sanitation workers as a "first line of defense" type of people, I knew they were important as any job is but without them, we would be living in filth and I just now realize that there is never a week where the sanitation workers, that come to my home, miss. Thank you to everyone who works these types of jobs! ❤

In NYC, it’s incredibly competitive to become a sanitation worker. It’s genuinely not an easy job to do day in and day out and people really underestimate how much goes into a job like this, especially during the pandemic. There’s no option for remote. I hope people start sorting their trash properly and genuinely thank people who do this work. It’s honestly one of the most impactful careers one can have.

This video made me so emotional. For over 35 years, my parents ran a rural sanitation business, and I basically grew up on a garbage truck. They worked every single holiday, and we're so accommodating to customers. Kids loved them and would often wait at the window to see them drive up just so they could bring the cans to them to help. Thank you so much for shedding light on this profession. ❤️

Thank you Michelle for this documentary, as a child of immigrants my dads a truck driver for produce and my mom works at a recycling plant. One time my mom told me a story of when she was working one day with her coworkers who are also women of color, a school went on a field trip to see how recycling works. The teacher said to the kids and pointed to my mom and her coworkers sorting out the trash from recycling “see this is why you have to go to school or you’ll end up like them” it just really goes to show the ignorance of humanity and how little we know of what goes on behind the scenes. These people also have families and children.

If waste collectors, plumbers, electricians took a few months off, the world would collapse. For most other fields of work, its not even close to the importance and impact. The work is not appreciated enough.

@@Andytlp that’s very true during the start of COVID and quarantine that took place my mom didn’t stay home she was an essential worker. It was scary to see her go but I can’t imagine like how you said what could have happened during that time without our essential workers.

Teachers and Bosses (Those with enough power), the ones who are suppose to be setting good examples for the rest of us can really cause damage and in many cases (Mine being one of them) the only way to heal from it is to get away from the toxicity (Much, much easier said than done for countless people) for a long enough period of time. I was fortunate enough to get away from the toxicness, and for me it only took roughly a year to get back to a good place mentally/emotionally, which is a miracle considering: Back in my hellementary school days, there were a few teachers “2 in particular (A couple, there last name being Cole, which was very fitting for their hearts) and as for the other, even though he wasn’t nearly as bad, he was still able to make my list” (And 2 IAs, one in particular who was rarely around but was a much bigger bully) that were bullies along with 4 students in particular who were notably worse then the other bullies. I went through a lot, believe me. To top it all off there was this one time when I went to the principal's office to talk to the vice principal about the bullying from the teachers and other students and I was angry, sobbing and the works and I did not hold back on how I felt or on what I was saying, but little did I know that the system for the entire schools speakers was on, so everyone in the entire school heard everything... Now, some of the things that was done to a good friend of mine (Who has Cerebral Palsy), well, she had an instructional assistant (Same one I had) who at times put the lock of her locker on backwards as she was being timed, sometimes also having her wear an intentionally heavy nap sack when she was walking with her crutches when she already had a hard enough time with nothing extra weighing her down, on the odd occasion had her crutches put towards the classroom door so she had to use the desks to balance herself to get to them, one day she slipped and fell in the mud on her way to one of the portables and she was forced to enter the classroom… (As for me, I have roughly 30 regular sized pages with regular sized font single spaced “I think it was around 50 or so before it was edited for me” of a bunch of the BS that happened to me). Anyways, after the schools PA system incident, the bullying got even worse. It did not matter that mom and dad called and tried to help. No one was able to do anything at all for me, nothing (I was a caged animal with no escape/no way to get any kind of help. Even now, emotional abuse is not something that the cops will typically intervene in)... Then one day towards the end of the 7th grade I just snapped completely on one of the bullies, ripped his shirt, tackled him to the ground and would not stop going completely ballistic on him/just absolutely out of control... The lunchroom/recess supervisor who basically did pretty much nothing against emotional bullying ended up pulling us apart and if she hadn't have stepped in then I would not have stopped... The thing about these days is with the internet, social media/etc it just seems like there is a lot more evil stuff going on because it is a lot easier to uncover it, and kids/teens (As well as adults/seniors/etc) need to be encouraged to stand up to bullies (If they can), and to stand up against bullying when they see it happen and to secretly record if things get bad enough (Recording live stream if possible just incase they get caught.having those recording being recorded to some secret place on the web that the victim can have access to those files when and if they ever need them. Recordings that will never be seen/known by the bullies if they do happen to snatch the recorder, if this advanced type of option is even possible). As for the job end of things, with my second last boss he was a real master at manipulation (Could be one of the most vicious to one of the most loving people you have even met on the drop of a dime/flip of a switch) and knew how to pull peoples mental/emotional strings, and believe me when I say that I make a really good target especially during some days when I was the first/only one there where at times there were alcohol and beer bottles over the floor and during those time especially he had the kind of rage that literally shook my body and went right through to my very soul. I was mentally/emotionally trapped there for like 8 years and as such I have lots of stuff that I typed about that job/torments as well as a couple videos I made of shots that I took in secret), there was one time in particular where the boss (A strong guy) took a large post and just chucked it at me in a way so it barely missed me…

@@user-yj7ph9vk2k I have a BA (Hons) 2.2 in business management from Manchester Metropolitan university and I am a janitor. I was previously a teacher also but teachers get very low pay and lots of homework. I get 20k they get 30k but they literally are addicted to coffee sugar alcohol and stress because their day never ends. Sometimes some teachers can look down on manual workers but the joke is on the teacher because 10k per year more doesn't cover x2 the hours spent working. Some people who work with me cleaning schools were dentists, engineers and laboratory scientists. Many people who were skilled tradesmen or postmen.

More people need to see this. This is such an important video. More than any other that I've seen on your channel. Thank you to everyone who works in this field. You are truly superstars!

Love the hard work, dedication and the wonderful people behind keeping our society clean. This video is a good reminder and a big thanks to all sanitation workers ❤️

I love that you took a job that gets overlooked by so many adults and humanized it so well. June 17th is Global Garbage Person Day, make sure to leave a gift out for those hard working men and women!

The kid recognizing her made me smile. She absolutely made his day.

Dude your production level is next level, and love the gratitude, respect, and effort you bring to every one of your videos. Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites on KZread

every job is important in this world. jackie is such a cool woman for doing this job with love! shoutout and huge hugs to all the garbage men, women and people out there! (and other hardworking people) every job deserves appreciation

sanitation workers are so undervalued and taken advantage of. my whole life i’ve been told “go to school or you’ll end up cleaning toilets or being a garbage man”, but in reality those are the most important jobs in the whole world. thank you to all sanitation workers ❤

this job is so under appreciated and I don’t think many people understand that.

Thank you for doing a video like this. Having a platform like you do and sharing these types of videos makes me hopeful that the younger generation and any generation will see that every type of job is important, valuable and needed no matter the type of job. They all deserve respect love and compassion.

This was probably your best video ❤ really showed us to have more appreciation for sanitary workers and to think twice when we are disposing of our own trash and do it properly and safely for the workers. Jackie is an amazing human ❤

let me say something, you just changed millions of people's views of trash collection.. I didn't think of them having to work during covid and whatever weather there is. I never thought of the hard work that goes into collecting trash and you have made me and much more considerate of this challenging job, thank you so much!

Jobs like these are so critical and important to society and so under appreciated. Everyone should have to have a community service job at some point in their life because I feel like it’d do so much good and help everyone gain some more empathy for those who work hard like this every day 💕

I discovered this page maybe 3 days ago and everytime I am so impressed on what this girl can do, but to see her try waste management and also put these people on a pedestal is equally if not more amazing!! These people work their tails & noses off to help keep the streets clean! Thank You Michelle & her team for projecting this!

I love how Michelle is able to bring such realness and beauty out of everything she does. Thanks for showing us this professional. They are under appreciated.

I never stopped and put thought into how imperative this line of work is. Thank you for opening my eyes Michelle. This is inspiring.

I did not expect to cry but I have a huge respect and greater awareness of all the hard work these amazing people do every single day.

I’ve never felt so guilty before for throwing something away. I serious had no clue how dangerous batteries were never mind I shouldn’t be tossing them out! Besides how amazing it is that you went through this experience, THANK YOU for educating the masses on why it’s so dangerous to throw away batteries. Who knows how many lives you’ll save with this video living on for years and educating so many more. 🎉

I live near a Home Depot that has a drop off for used batteries. If I hadn't heard they did that a few years ago, I'd have no idea of how to dispose of batteries.

This made me so emotional and made me realise how much more we need to appreciate sanitation workers and what risks they take just for their community. ❤

These types of videos deserve millions and millions of likes 😢❤❤❤❤ love you Michelle I've been watching your videos since yesterday and I'm very impressed

Jackie is such an amazing lady, it shows how much she loves doing her job, also a big thumbs up for the company who believed in her when she was hired. When you see her again, give her a big hug in my name with the best wishes from a hungarian viewer!

I can’t stop crying over how little appreciation they get. Especially here in Florida after hurricanes they still show up when they can make it through the streets again. I will forever be grateful to all that they do and to Michele for showing us in such a special way!❤❤

This video is great! Thank you for taking the time and volunteering yourself to work in the waste industry. I was telling my co-worker today that sometimes i get so caught up in all the choas of work, and i forget to appreciate the fact i get to drive these trucks everyday, and meeting the residents is always enjoyable.

I work at the Palmerston North city council in New Zealand in the recycling, rubbish, glass trucks and I can say that I love my job and I have sat down and listen to people say that we don't do much that was before I told them everything we do and what we deal with. In Palmy we pick up our rubbish in bags. People also don'r realise how early we start and when we finish like we start at 6:30 maybe 7 am and finish anywhere from 4 - 8 pm. Thank you Michelle for showing over people what we go through.

This was not only about you trying sanitation work for a day - this was you telling a powerful & important story. I had chills and this was very moving. Thank you. ❤

except she's lying. let's not forget when Oprah said playing with a baby is the hardest job in the world. if she wants to show dangerous jobs, go work on an oil rig that requires skill and has an element of serious risk of injury or death or running into a burning building while carrying down 200 pound overweight American folks without injuring your knees and battling smoke and fumes. yeah, then we'll talk

This really REALLY put everything into perspective for me. Our residence doesn't provide blue bins so separating our trash from recyclables is tougher. But I know my actions can impact Sanitation workers more so I will do all I can to make it easier for them, so I'm now more than happy to go the extra mile. Thank you, Michelle for highlighting these hard working heroes.

This was eye-opening 😢❤. Thank you, Michelle and the team ❤

My appreciation for sanitary workers is bigger then I could ever imagine I never would have thought that people like Jackie could be so kind people always take those people for granted but they are so kind and generous they work as hard I love them and all there hard work❤❤❤

16:00 - Jackie's passion is showing. That's fantastic. And I appreciate it, all you sanitation workers. Thank you!

I love Michelle she always educates us with all her videos! I’ve alway respected garbage collectors but I now have more respect for them because of this video. I’m going to share this video with my parents because I want to do better with how I recycle my things! I feel like schools should have educated us with how to properly recycle things

The camerawork, color correction, and storytelling are insane! I'm truly amazed by the quality of the production!
