sanitation worker

Since 1998, Pawar had been working as a safai karamchari, or sanitation worker, responsible for sweeping garbage off the streets of Mumbai.

Cops, firemen, teachers, nurses, first responders, sanitation workers, folks who we just recently started calling essential workers, but quite frankly, they were always essential.

The nephew, Sammy Santana, is now 36 and has grown up to become a New York City sanitation worker.

For a sanitation worker then or now, the contents of a particular bag are seldom of any interest.
