Answer 1

Handling other peoples poo is always going to be a bit risky, so you'll at least want to be wearing gloves.

Also, try to avoid eating it.

Answer 2

If you handle human waste you heed to be careful, can get several nasties from untreated waste like Hepatitis.

Answer 3

How do you know it's human waste?  Unless it's dirty nappies of course.  Many people handle those without side effects.

Answer 4

you can`t live forever anyway

Answer 5

You are engaged in really useful work and I hope you wear a mask and gloves.

If they are not supplied by the employer your trade union will help you get them supplied.

If you are not a trade union member I recommend you join quickly because you need their protection.

Best wishes.

Answer 6

some people are so ignorant/selfish! who puts this stuff in the recycling!

i used to drive the recycling bin waggon, and i would have my teeth gritted waiting for the crash of glass each time the bins emptied into the back. grrrrrr

make sure you have had your jabs for tetanus and weills disease, and complain to your supervisor when it happens. the company could do with spending a bit of dosh on customer education.

hang on, you dont mean you are sorting recyclables by hand from unsorted domestic waste??? ewwww! shouldnt be allowed!

actually, i think it isnt; not legal in u.k. anymore anyway.
