Sanitation Worker

A Sanitation Worker rides on a big truck and travels along your street collecting trash and recycling from the bins. At every stop, they hop off, roll the bin to the truck, and press a button so the truck's arm lifts it up and tips everything inside. They wear a bright vest so drivers can spot them, and thick gloves to protect their hands. For example, they follow a map with their team so no street gets forgotten.

Because of their work, your street stays tidy and the bins don't spill onto the sidewalk. You can play at the park without piles of rubbish in your way. The bottles and paper that get sorted for recycling can even become brand new things. Next time you hear the truck rumble by, you'll know someone is taking care of your neighborhood.
