According to an article in Popular Mechanics dated November 2015 in a section called “Great Unknowns” a reader submitted this question…
“How many operating garbage trucks are there in the United States?”
“All things considered, we think a reasonable estimate would put the total number of garbage trucks somewhere within clattering-can-throwing distance of 2000,000. Sweet dreams.”
Popular Mechanics admits they’re using figures from 2001 and the number could be higher.
Doing the math if only half of the trucks (100K) use a single driver to save money that’s a total of 100,000 garbage men. Which leaves us with 100K garbage trucks remaining. If you figure they use two people a driver and a loader, that adds up to 200K garbage men. This brings the total to roughly 300,000 spying garbage men!
Republic Services the second largest waste disposal company behind Waste Management also trains their employees to spy on Americans!
Republic Services calls their garbage spying program “We’re Looking Out for You” and claims it’s a
crime prevention and safety enforcement initiative that enlists the active participation of Republic Services drivers, in cooperation with law enforcement and emergency services, to reduce crime and maintain neighborhood safety. (Click here to view the Pdf)
Just how many ears and eyes are we talking? How does anywhere from 400,000 to 500,000 SPYING ears and eyes sound? The numbers could be higher if there are more than 200K garbage trucks in the U.S.
According to the Daily Republic News, Republic Services employees have been spying for police in Fairfield California since 2013:
Cincotta said City Manager Sean Quinn discussed the idea to team police with garbage collectors in the past and the two sides finally made it happen. He said the department sent an employee to help train the drivers in what to look for and even how to be better witnesses.
But they’re not city workers and that’s the PROBLEM! Paying hundreds of thousands of private contractors to spy on INNOCENT Americans is a huge F***ing PROBLEM!
Police Chief Walt Tibbet said teaming with Republic is yet another way the city has upped its community policing.
Mayor Sam Liccardo and Councilmen Johnny Khamis and Raul Peralez proposed that the city consider strapping license plate readers to the front of garbage trucks, allowing them to record the plates of every car along their routes. The data would be fed directly to the Police Department from the privately operated trash trucks, prompting an officer to respond to stolen vehicles or cars involved with serious crime.
In September of this year I warned everyone that garbage trucks have been spying on Americans since 2010 and now they’re recording your license plate.
Police in Antioch, California asked Republic Services garbage truck drivers to openly spy on citizens, claiming it’s for their Neighborhood Watch program!
Dubbed “We’re Looking Out For You,” the push to engage these two groups of employees in what amounts to a loose-knit Neighborhood Watch group on a massive scale was encapsulated in a brief appeal to postal workers Friday morning.
Still think this is just another conspiracy theory? Last month Seattle was sued because garbage men are spying on residents trash!
Fox News reported:
Nine full-time solid waste inspectors have been hired as part of a controversial program to check city trash to make sure people are recycling. Additionally, contracted waste haulers have been effectively deputized as trash police, given the authority to tag bins when people fail to recycle and compost enough.
The program is now the subject of a lawsuit, as residents fume over what some call an intrusive government program.

“I got this idea from a police captain, and I thought it was a great idea, We’re merely looking for advice to see if it’s doable” Khamis said.”
UN…F**king…believable………
They just have to incorporate the “See something, say something” game in EVERY single area of our lives, no matter how minute. Like others have been saying, “We have become a nation of snitches”. So sad.
Hopefully one day it will all end as people will realize like the Nazis did that everyone will get exhausted spying on EVERY little thing that they will just say, “Screw it” and dump the whole damn thing regardless of what the government says.
Actually, I think many people are already doing that. It’s only the owners and CEO’s of the Big Businesses that are trying to enforce it in order to suck up and kiss ass to our foreign government in occupation and its Zionist masters.
Here are three recent examples of trash companies working with police:
1.) In Seattle, nine full-time solid waste inspectors have been hired as part of a controversial program to check city trash to make sure people are recycling. Additionally, contracted waste haulers have been effectively deputized as trash police, given the authority to tag bins when people fail to recycle and compost enough.
“This food waste ban uses trash collectors to pry through people’s garbage without a warrant, as Washington courts have long required for garbage inspections by police,” Ethan Blevins, an attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation said.
“I understand people have noble goals, but at some point we have to say, you can’t violate my rights to achieve this noble goal” Keli Carender said.
The Pacific Legal Foundation is suing the city to hopefully put a stop to this spying program.
2.) As of July 2015 Vermont residents are being FORCED to recycle…
“Vermont residents are required to divert glass, hard plastics, newsprint, cardboard, white paper, aluminum and steel containers from the landfill, whether they hire a trash company or dispose of the material themselves.”
“Some trash haulers say the law has shifted their role from customer service to policing.”
3.) In September of this year San Jose, Calif. city leaders have been discussing fining residents who throw household garbage into their recycling bins.
…”Residents who don’t get the recycling right may soon face more than just an angry red notice on an unemptied recycling bin. City leaders are now talking about stepping up enforcement with possible fines for repeat offenders.”
