Michael Robinson Jr. is a single father of three and works as a service specialist for Raleigh Solid Waste Services. He is concerned for his safety while out on the road because SWS is short staff during the pandemic.
“We have to use our own judgment and being that we don’t have a safety coordinator, we really have to use our own discretion as far as what we will collect and what we will not collect, Robinson said. “If I injure myself by lifting something that exceeds the weight limit, then I’m at fault.” Photo courtesy: Mike Robinson Jr.
