Diary of a garbageman

When you read this diary of a garbage collector, you’ll discover a world you never knew existed. A collection of eccentrics and characters more or less integrated into normal life who work on the ridge between what our society considers clean and what it deems dirty. Who are these athletes who race down our streets every week behind trucks, come snow, rain or shine? What is their vision of composting, recycling and upcycling? What do they have to say about an era that generates an abundance of garbage? These are just some of the questions answered by this captivating story. Winner of the Prix de libraires du Québec 2025
