What's arguably the most dangerous job in New York City?

Cops? Nope.

Firefighters? Nope.

It's Garbage-men.

Before Christmas last year, we put tins of cookies on top of the trash can with a card. I think we'll make a habit of it.

Nagle makes a point of reminding people how dangerous trash collection is. Sanitation workers in New York die more frequently than police officers or firefighters, a fact that surprises even san workers partly because their deaths rarely get the same news coverage. They get hit by cars, poisoned by toxic chemicals, cut by rusty metal, and hit by objects that occasionally shoot out of the compactor in the back of their trucks.
