Garbage Collectors

By Jill Sherman

Book Overview

Food wrappers, plastic bottles, napkins, and crumpled-up homework...we create a lot of waste. For people living in cities around the world, garbage collectors come each week to pick up household waste. Not only do garbage collectors lift heavy bins hundreds of times each shift, they also have to wake up very early in the morning and work in harsh weather conditions. Readers will learn what it takes to be a garbage collector and why this difficult job is so important. Full-color photographs help readers understand what being a garbage collector requires and fact boxes provide them with additional information.
