My full time job is at a municipal Transfer Station/Recycling Center. People always get a kick when I say I am a "Garbologist".



I know what you mean by the word "scrapper" though. It takes just a few to ruin the name. We had a person yesterday from a different town (not a tax payer) that thought he could just take lead acid batteries, cut cables off TVs, and such. That is money for the town and to reduce the cost of running the place. To make things worse, this guy had a overloaded mouth full of tobacco and grubby looking. That is what people think when you say "scrapper".
