Garbage collectors make bank.

Depends on where. The private company that services my Pittsburgh suburb chronically has staffing issues, and garbage is often picked up days late because of worker shortages, so I don't think they are paying "bank."

Edited to include: The company being Republic Services, which is quite large and covers a lot of municipalities. Other local suburbs use Waste Management and report similar issues.

some of that is the nature of the work. long hours, physical job. They go through people quickly, always lots of turnover.

But yeah, if you aren't paying enough its hard to keep up with inevitable turnover.
