garbage collecting is seen as dirty and undesirable by society, so for them to want to do it, you have to pay more

in my country they are badly paid anyway though so fuck it lol

Did it as a student job for 3 years. I was paid roughly 50% more than with all other student jobs.

Honestly collecting garbage is not even that bad. I got paid to do fitness all day, spending time outside while chatting with my coworker. The people sorting the trash, that was who we felt bad for. They had all the downsides of the job with none of the benefits.

Sorting trash...goodness... THAT'S a job nobody would mind automating I'm sure.

Especially with how the populace views the trash bin as the "Magic it's-out-of-my-life box" and throws all sorts of dangerous things in there!
