<p>Frustration and trash are both piling up for a Baltimore City trash collector who says bi-weekly recycling is taking a toll on his health and home-life.</p> <p>Fearing he might lose his job, the waste management worker asked FOX 45 not to identify him. He says fewer collections is creating twice the work for tired crews.</p> <p>"It’s ridiculous," he said, "It’s too much work on one person. You know, they put seven, eight cans out. [Expletive deleted] like that. They try to empty the whole house. I mean, it's crazy."</p> <p>He sent a photo of sky-high stacks of trash, claiming the piles of built up recycling is becoming the norm for curbs across the city. Making an already hazardous job, even harder.</p> <p>"If you take a survey I bet you wouldn’t get nobody to say that they want it to be like that. From the drivers, to the laborers, nobody" he said.</p>
