Shout out to the Garbage Men

I'm grateful for what they do

That job sucks.
Cheers to the folks on the South end of a Northbound garbage truck.

Go solid waste workers

When they go on strike you really notice the difference they make.

I always tell them War Eagle

Man I bet that pisses them off. Gumps hate when you tell them War Eagle.

I appreciate any hard worker, but my waste collector sits in the A/Ced/Heated cab and operates a mechanical arm to do the trashy work.

Is there anything to the myth that they're relatively well paid?

I appreciate tiger graduates as much as the next guy. Geaux tigers works just as well.

You ain't no punk, you punk.
You wanna talk about the real junk?
If I ever slip, I'll be banned 'cause I'm your garbageman.
Well you can't dig me you can't dig nothin'.
Do you want the real thing, or are you just talkin'?
Do you understand? I'm your garbageman.
Yeah, somethin' from the garage and down the driveway.
Now get outta your mind and get outta my way.
Now do you understand? do you understand?

Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie the bird's the word and do you know why?
You gotta beat it with a stick.
You gotta beat it 'til it's thick.
You gotta live until you're dead.
You gotta rock 'til you see red.

Now do you understand? do you understand?
I'm a garbageman. aw, jump on and ride
Yeah it's just what you need when you're down in the dumps.
One half hillbilly and one half punk.
Big long legs and one big mouth.
The hottest thing from the north to come out of the south.
Do you understand? do you understand?
Woo, I can't lose with the stuff I use, and you don't choose no substitutes.
So stick out your can 'cause I'm your garbageman.

Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie the bird's the word and do you know why?

You gotta beat it with a stick.
You gotta beat it 'til it's thick.
You gotta live until you're dead.
You gotta rock 'til you see red.

Now do you understand? do you understand? do you understand? all right, hop off.

It doesn't require lots of training so it will always pay not all that well, but it's definitely important.

>>what would you do with your garbage if there weren't any trash pickup? A lot of you might say burn it

I went to east Africa about ten years ago and that's what everyone did. I even stayed at a hotel that was pretty decent with reliable hot showers, and burning the trash was the first thing they did in the morning.
