๐Ÿค” I wonder how it'll work in the future. Automated garbage chute system, perhaps?

Until then, garbage people definitely do deserve respect.

Like this! (at least in urban areas).

Honestly the way we do things now pisses me off ever since I watched that video. I've got 4 different trash containers to take care of (cardboard, organic, small plastics/metal, "other"), so when they're full the least I should expect is that I could get rid of them down the street instead of waiting a week or two for a truck to come around!

That would require a ridiculous amount of infrastructure pretty much everywhere except New York city maybe

It'd be worth it in new cities though.

Yeah, probably. But technological advancements that replace a shit load of jobs, really should be taxed and that money should go directly to unemployment or even better; UBI

Autonomous bin lorries probably. A tube filled with solids sounds like an absolute nightmare.
