Hey, excuse me, how much do you make a year in New York? About $90,000 after five and a half years of service. Crazy question, can I come to work with you today? Today's short, why not? Joel Lombardo, and I work for the Department of Sanitation. Are you always starting this early? Yeah, summer hours are five to one. I mean, honestly, I don't think a lot of people even realize what we do. We're out here so early, we're off the streets. Is there a lot of risk to get hurt? Yeah, every day. It's a pretty physical job, plus traffic, conditions outside, stuff like that. My real part of hurting shoulder, he's down with disability right now. We're going to finish this block, and then we're going to go down to Atlantic Avenue. One more car, we're going to back up. What if there's something that you can't fit in the truck? Oh, yeah, this thing, you put a little car in there. We got a chair, garbage can. Where should I bring this? Do you have to put these back in front of? Right, right, right.

Can you tell me a little bit of your story? It's kind of like right after 9-11. It wasn't that great of times financially. I've been in this garage my whole career, 20 years. I can retire in the summer because when I started, it was 20 years. How much longer do you think you have? You think you're going to retire? Yeah, I'm only 45. I got two small kids, so I'm not going to retire right away I got a pretty good over here. What position did you have when you first started? When you first start, you don't have seniority, so I'm on my route. This is my route for 13 years. Before that, I would be on recycling. Depending on seniority, you go nights. This whole job is based on seniority.
