text: what is a description of a garbage man's job? i read the description of a garbage man from wikipedia, and it did not help much. i was wondering what a garbage man did, how old you have to be, and about how much they make. also any pre-requisites, like having 20/20 vision or having a high school diploma. thanks! try the job guide here:  http://jobguide.thegoodguides.com.au/text/jobdetails.cfm?jobid=1118
