Clean Streets

Video        StoryCorps        29 April 2015

Sanitation workers Angelo Bruno and Eddie Nieves

worked together for nearly ten years

on the same garbage route in Manhattan's West Village

and became fixtures in the community.

After 31 years on the job, Angelo retired.

At StoryCorps,

he talked with Eddie

about the unexpected lessons he learned

along the way and what he still misses about the job.
