What is it that I do down here? People keep asking me that. Basically, I'm a garbage man. I collect and containerize recyclables and garbage from the station. We recycle something like 70% of all our waste. It's not glamorous but it's fun. Really fun and pretty good exercise too. And gross. Really gross (at times). My coworkers are awesome and we spend the majority of each day laughing. Hard not to feel chilled out when the motto of the place is "it's just trash". Plus, they do fun stuff! More on that in a future blog. And I get to drive a fork lift and crush giant pieces of metal. Strangely, it's one of the better jobs I've ever had....

| View from inside the bailer. I love this thing - made 10 drums into a 3'x3' cube! |
I don't think Burnie is gonna last long with that compactor. Hope all is well.
