Description |
Dustmen at work in Burnley, collecting different kinds of waste from suburban houses and depositing it at the refuse depot. Workers are shown placing cardboard and general refuse into a Shelvoke and Drewry dustcart, and a woman empties ashes into her metal dustbin. Another dustman pushes two bins on a handcart and collects food waste. The dustcart empties its load at a refuse depot before driving off again to visit another suburban road. |
