0 Yes - people have a job emptying garbage bins into garbage trucks. It's (1) such a repetitive task (job), all day long, day after day, that they can get careless, wanting the job to be over and done. They may not ensure that all the garbage is out of the bin and into the truck, and throw the bin back where they picked it up, which loosens up the rest of it, which falls out and litters the foot
