Paul Campbell has been a sanitation truck driver for 18 years. His most recent route has him lugging 300-pound bins filled with watermelon rinds, coconut shells and other compost onto a truck in the dead of the night. He sees a part of New York that few ever get the chance to glimpse: its vast food waste.
While the city sleeps, Mr. Campbell drives around picking up compost from restaurants and markets. As the sun rises, he deposits his haul at a warehouse, to be eventually turned into electricity, generated from biogas, for New York and New Jersey.
“On the Job With Priya Krishna” is a series about labor and the people who shape what we eat and how we eat, and whose jobs often go unseen.
