Description
Garbage is a memoir of an exceptional trash collector from the streets and wharves of San Francisco. It is a rollicking first-person narrative that recounts an implausible life led and has amazing nuggets of wisdom scattered all over its pages.
Stefanelli used to be trained to be a scavenger by his uncles in the 1940s and 50s at a time when rampant discrimination prevented Italian immigrants and their families from pursuing any other career. From there, he became a ‘boss scavenger’, married a garbage man’s daughter, and climbed the ranks of the Sunset Scavenger Company where he sooner or later took part in a corporate shakeup that made him the company’s president at only 31 years old. As one of the crucial men at the helm of this booming industry, he became the chief advocate for increasingly more innovative recycling and waste management practices in the Bay Area, and a foremost leader of environmentally-conscious business on the planet.
Stefanelli’s vigorous memoir will enlighten readers to the waste management business, an industry that used to be once thought to be the lowest rung on the social ladder, but will also show his unparalleled capacity for transformation and vision.
