This from the Islington borough magazine:
Young Islington The chance to progress Twins Ryan and Rhys Wenzel, 21, both completed apprenticeships with Islington Council, and are now employed by the Angel Business Improvement District team. They spoke to IslingtonLife about their roles and why they think apprenticeships can be a great opportunity? Ryan described a typical day?s work. ?Our main job in the morning is to collect the recycling from businesses in the area. The really nice thing about this is that the businesses have built up good relationships with us and know our faces, so they stop to talk to us in the mornings. After we?ve done all the recycling we have a more pro-active afternoon ? we go around looking for graffiti to be cleaned or incidents of fly-tipping. We also remove any flyposting. There are certain hot spots that we know to look out for. We also respond to any calls from the public regarding flytipping or graffiti. So we?re out and about all day really. The only downside can be the weather!?
And so it goes on, pretending that training to become a rubbish collector is the same as training for a really skilled job. What a lie!
