Back when minimum wage was about $5 an hour, I knew a half dozen guys who did that work for only $10 an hour with no protective gear. The ones who didn't die of lung cancer are currently on full disability, and they worked for fly-by-night companies they couldn't sue. At about that same time the plastics factory was paying $8 an hour to breathe toxic fumes all day.
Cleaning the trash filled apartments of evicted welfare tenants seems great by comparison.
