It’s a Dirty Job but we’re Proud to Do It

July 29, 2009 – Heavy Equipment Operators at BCWS have a tough job. Solid Waste Foreman Alan Roberts shows Live 5 Reporter Bob Behanian just how tough and dirty that job can get. Bob got the chance to experience what it’s like to clean one of these machines first hand and it wasn’t pretty. The job involves cutting out much of the trash that gets trapped in the wheels and removing other waste such as food and sludge. (On this particular day Bob pulled an old shower curtain out from the wheels!)
