Frustration and trash are both piling up for a Baltimore City trash collector who says bi-weekly recycling is taking a toll on his health and home-life.
Fearing he might lose his job, the waste management worker asked FOX 45 not to identify him. He says fewer collections is creating twice the work for tired crews.
"It’s ridiculous," he said, "It’s too much work on one person. You know, they put seven, eight cans out. [Expletive deleted] like that. They try to empty the whole house. I mean, it's crazy."
He sent a photo of sky-high stacks of trash, claiming the piles of built up recycling is becoming the norm for curbs across the city. Making an already hazardous job, even harder.
"If you take a survey I bet you wouldn’t get nobody to say that they want it to be like that. From the drivers, to the laborers, nobody" he said.
