Today we speak with working class hero and “Refuse Engineer, Ben. Every day Ben rises at the crack of 11pm to make the very early morning rounds to pick up your recycling in the city of San Francisco. We will be looking at the strange things he finds while on the job—everything from sections of people’s fount lawns, money, skateboards and adult…toys.

We will also be taking a look at how to manage your recycling. What sort of things can and cannot go into those bins? What to you do when your bin is full?

Fair warning: Today’s episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual activity, violence and extreme human suffering. Listener discretion is advised.
