The weather outside is beginning to break and while that might make some tasks that require being outdoors a bit more pleasant it doesn’t do much to improve the experience of manually waste removal. Employees responsible for dragging full, exceedingly heavy dumpsters or recycling containers to the point of pick up are still at great risk of suffering injury regardless of the current temperature.
In some work environments a dumpster must be moved a distance of several hundred yards from the place where it is stored and filled to the location where it will be pick up.
