July 1st is the day where the most trash is created in Montreal.
Sylvie and her son Niko are picking up the compost bins. Kiki and Guillaume are collecting recyclables in Saint-Léonard.
Sylvie and her son Nicko are assigned to compostable. It is every trash collector’s nightmare, as the smell is absolutely horrendous.
Dannick and his friend Mitchell, nicknamed Karate Kid, start their trash collecting at Saint-Joseph Oratory.
Working in the rain, Sylvie is working with Matthew a new helper who’s far from convinced that he’s made the right career choice.
It’s Jean-Marie’s first day on the job and he is being trained by Ti-Christ, one of the most experienced helpers in the company.
It’s Nicko’s first winter as a trash collector. His mom is particularly careful as she drives the truck.
Winter is in full swing in Montreal. Snow and ice makes the trash extra heavy for the trucks and the trash collectors.
