    Street/Parking Lot Cleaners.

    Every night, I clean up:

    • Styrofoam cups/cans/plastic cups & bottles
    • tossed out left over fast food
    • dirty diapers that someone couldn’t walk 7 feet through the Walmart parking lot to throw in an actual trash can
    • empty boxes for: flat-screen TVs, Car seats, memory foam mattresses, or Amazon purchases
    • disposable vapes
    • trash bags that someone decided needed to be left in a parking lot instead of in a dumpster
    • So. Many. Plastic. Hangers.
    • receipts
    • grocery bags
    • candy wrappers
    • Edit shattered glass, but it makes that gravel in a vacuum sound when the truck sucks it up, so that’s nice.

    And the only time I get thanked is when my employer asks me to do extra work because there was a storm, another driver was out sick, another driver needed help on a site, or there was a big event that needed to be cleaned for/after.
