'It's Just a Nightmare.' Trash· Collectors Overwhehned by Rising Amount of Household Waste

Washington, DC (CNN, April 9, 2020): Barney Shapiro, owner of Tenleytown Trash, never expected that he would turn to the Washington National Opera's costume department to design gear for his employees. But when a member of his staff heard the National Opera was sewing masks for workers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, he jumped at the chance.

    Shapiro's staffers haul trashin Washington, DC, and Maryland Like the entire waste management industry, Shapiro is trying to keep his employees healthy and safe, so they can handle the massive influx of household trash that is accumulating as more Americans self-quarantine at home.

    "Our residential volumes are drastically increased," Shapiro said "People are calling in and asking for increased services. We can't do that on a short-term basis. It's just a nightmare.''

    Republic Services, one of the largest waste management companies in the US, said it expects the volume of residential garbage to increase by as much as 30%. Jn.order to redirect resources and address the growing amount of day-to-day household waste, about SO communities nationwide have paused curbside recycling pickup and dozens have suspended yard waste collection, according to the Solid Waste. Association of America. Other companies are shifting workers to residential routes and away from slower commercial routes where many of the businesses have closed.

    Companies are also making contingency plans in case the residential volume becomes too great or their workers get sick.

    Shapiro said one of his drivers and the colleague he rides with have both tested positive for coronavirus, as well as one of his administrative employees.

    Another driver recently said he was scared to work and is staying home, according to Shapiro. And Shapiro, who employs 32 drivers, is growing concerned that more employees will want to do the same.

    "I hate to say this. Those things do tend to, snowball" he said "I can't say to a driver, 'No I want you working.' Quite honestly, they're being put at risk.''

"Sunday Best"
By Surfaces

[Chorus]
Feeling good, like I should
Went and took a walk around the neighborhood
Feeling blessed, never stressed
Got that sunshine on my Sunday best

[Verse 1]
Everyday can be a better day despite the challenge
All you gotta do is leave it better than you found it
It's gonna get difficult to stand but hold your balance
I just say whatever cause there is no way around it cause

[Pre-chorus]
Everyone falls down sometimes
But you just gotta know it'll all be fine
It's okay, uh-huh
It's okay, it's okay

[Chorus]
Feeling good, like I should
Went and took a walk around the neighborhood
Feeling blessed, never stressed
Got that sunshine on my Sunday best

[Verse 2]
Somedays you wake up and nothing works you feel surrounded
Gotta give your feet some gravity to get you grounded
Keep good things inside your ears just like the waves and sound did
And just say whatever cause there is no way around it

[Pre-chorus]
Everyone falls down sometimes
But you just gotta know it'll all be fine
It's okay, uh-huh
It's okay, it's okay

[Chorus]
Feeling good, like I should
Went and took a walk around the neighborhood
Feeling blessed, never stressed
Got that sunshine on my Sunday best
