I respect your history. It is amazing how many homes they can hit in a day.
We just got new trucks in our town. As long as the barrels are spaced correctly, the driver never leaves the truck cab.
My grandkids love watching the “trash truck monsters.”

Oh wow... Running way behind times then... When I first got into it we were still hand tossing cans into a commercial front loader fork truck with a bin hanging on the front. Then we got the residential side load trucks and roll carts.
But the hand tossing was extremely physically demanding. One guy driving to each house, getting out, dumping three regular trashcans, climbing back into the truck and driving to the next house to repeat. We had sometimes 450 addresses to pick up a day. 450 times we would have to repeat that get out, dump cans, and back in the truck to the next house cycle.
Boy were we glad to see those sideload trucks and roll carts show up... Your garbage guys are going to have to join a gym now... lol
