Trash! is a memoir that combines personal experience with social commentary to examine the hidden world of waste collection and the people who perform it. Drawing on two decades of work as a garbageman in Montreal, Simon Paré-Poupart reflects on the physical demands, workplace culture, and social importance of sanitation workers while exploring broader issues of consumerism, waste, inequality, and environmental responsibility. Blending autobiographical narrative with observations informed by sociology, the book challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between modern society and the waste it produces. Through vivid stories, humor, and critical reflection, it highlights the dignity of overlooked labor and the social realities revealed by what people discard. Intended for general readers interested in memoir, labor studies, urban society, and contemporary social issues
