It’s actually pretty hard on your body.  My brothers did it for a summer - there were often injuries.  Garbage men don’t last that long typically

Jep, did this for 2.5/3'ish years. 21 year old til 24. I messed up my left shoulder, never has been the same again.

Here in the Netherlands, we would collect bins on wheels, attach them to the truck, it empties itself and put the bin back where it belongs.

Maximum weight was 70kgs. Those bins where very easy to handle.

But, a big but, there where also days where special garbage bags was collected ( no bins, straight up bags) , with a max 25 kg, but offcourse people didn't give a shit about the weight... And that, is how i messed up my shoulder.
