Have you ever stopped to think of what would happen if there was no one to remove our rubbish. How fast it would accumulate, how fast would we be under a pile of rubbish. Think if there was no organised system in place to remove all of it, our lives, lifestyle would soon become intolerable, diseases and possible life expectancy would diminish. Putting it this way, waste management and now recycling is absolutely crucial to our way of life

Waste management is a multi-billion dollar business whose duties include gathering up the waste and garbage generated by the general public and businesses. The big trucks that collect household garbage and compress it into a neatly compacted load start early in the morning as they make their rounds. Routes are scheduled to pick up household garbage usually once or twice a week. A typical day for the crew on a garbage truck might include picking up and emptying the garbage cans and other containers full of refuse at 200 or more homes. The professional crew works quickly to perform their duties on schedule.
