Yeah the winter is hard, i dont wear gloves when i do the collections because they irritate my skin and are also dangerous for me cause my hands are small, but when im getting snow all over them then getting into a hot cab it hurts like hell.
I walk about 12 to 15 miles a day and load at least 10 tonnes of rubbish on our first load and another 6 or 7 on our second and we can do 1900 properties in around 5 to 6 hours sometimes less.
As its job and knock alot of us are running every where some of us run the entire route. so you do have to be physically as well as stomachly fit.
Plus you have to take the abuse as well cause your always in the firing line.
