BUFFALO, N.Y.- A pair of Buffalo Sanitation Department workers may lose their jobs over an alleged incident last week.
A North Buffalo resident called 311, the Mayor's Hotline, saying that Friday morning she observed them urinating into the back of their garbage truck.
Pat Butcher says she was taking a break from working in her kitchen when she walked to the front door. She was looking out the window, watching the sanitation crew. Butcher says one worker stepped up onto the platform on the back of the truck. She assumed they would be moving on, but the truck didn't move. The worker stepped down and another employee stepped up. She then realized what she was watching. "They were taking turns urinating into the back of the truck" says Butcher.
