Give 'em a high-five!-----In Praise of ‘Garbagemen’

In Praise of ‘Garbagemen’
"...That was the day I gained an undying appreciation for firefighters – and sanitation workers. 
We don’t fully value the work of “garbagemen” until we have to live without their services.
Considering that urban civilization would degenerate into chaos and disease without their labor, society is shockingly unappreciative of the men and women who maintain our system of sanitation disposal. 
It’s not surprising, then, that few people are eager for such a career considering the work is thankless, dirty, and dangerous. 
Indeed, astonishingly dangerous: Sanitation workers have twice the fatality rates of police offers, and nearly seven times the fatality rates of firefighters..."
