Dan joins a waste-removal crew to uncover the truth behind our ‘magically' disappearing curbside trash -- hauling garbage, sorting recycling and picking plastics out of compost piles in a job that's stinky, filthy, and moves at a dizzying pace (literally).

The alarm blares, the lights flash and Dan finds himself alongside firefighters who charge into danger while the rest of us step back. He'll have to navigate heavy gear, crippling heights, bootcamp and even show off some culinary skills if he wants to make it onto the truck.
