Note the comparatively small size of the average home garbage can at the time.

Yes. To be serious.. I totally agree. These dolls were redeemed with the love of the many people that carried them back from the can, better than they were ever before.

I had no idea that “recycling “ was going on this long ago. I have always thought that everything went to landfill or incinerators back then.

Those are tiny garbage cans. We live in L.A. and the ones we have now could easily hold 8x the capacity. And only one trash truck and operator. And sorting glass shards with bare hands? WTH man? The toy rental thing was friggin' weird.

Lol, I totally thought of TS3. And I worked on TS2, so the doll restoration segment hit home. I always thought that was fictional

🗑I learned a lot from this 70-year-old film. I've never heard the word "cullet" until now. The more things change, the more they stay the same, we just call it recycling today. 😁 The toy recycling was interesting & I wonder if there are organizations that repair toys for needy children still exist today. The whole system was fantastic & it taught children life-long lessons. 🧸

there are, but I don't know how wide-spread they are or know any of them by name... I gave some old stuff away on Craigslist and the woman who picked up said she was a volunteer for a local org that collects, fixes, distributes bikes, toys and art supplies (Sacramento, CA area)

Nothing kids love playing more than a rousing game of "Garbage Collectors and Litterbugs"... when nothing else like "Cops n Robbers" or "Doctor" were available. ... maybe huffing some shoe polish...

Pretty sure most of those workers had serious heathy issues working without masks or other PPE. Picking glass without gloves too. Important jobs but not safe by any means.

Plenty of hand-sorting of refuse still goes on today. I scrap metal what I can but I work FT so some stuff just doesn't pay to collect and turn in. Yes we compost.

this film is propaganda. you would think that L.A. hadn't any landfills. but they did and still do. i an in my 70s and i never herd of upcycled toys. kids would go to the dumps and find them.

The part with all the ladies fixing the dolls was definitely propaganda.

Honestly man, with that attitude, you’re probably part of the reason why LA is in the condition it’s in now. In my opinion if you’re 70 years old and willing to still go out of your way to comment on what is essentially nothing more than a channel presenting old films to the public and call it propaganda, even though you are right, tells me that you probably are part of why it’s in the condition it’s in and I get it man you were raised by the most traumatized generation in history that, in America, lied to you guys feeding y’all stuff like this while telling you the world is infinite and you’re generation are the ones to inherent it and change it for the better just to have that reality violently ripped from you in Vietnam. And if you were born black you were never part of that false reality and still sent to Vietnam just to be gentrified out of your childhood neighborhoods. I get it. I empathize. So, if you could forgive my hostility and extend me the favor of empathy in return, let me tell you that as a 27 year old American when I see these films; propaganda or not; I don’t feel-I know-that something fundamental was robbed from my generation. I’m sure we all feel that way in some sense or another. You know it’s funny y’all tend to see us as spoiled but to us you guys born in the late 40’s and 50’s are the spoiled ones. Sure I got a smart phone but it costed what was in your time 1/15th the price of a new home. Between you and I? I know which one I would rather have…

@@paulgaskins7713 You came to the wrong conclusion. While this film had propaganda, it was mild and benign. They wanted the viewers to think the sanitation department did more than it did. The sanitation department back then did a lot, just not as much as was depicted. And why would a 70 year old pointing out that there actually were dumps/landfills back then trigger you? That's just a fact from an eyewitness. Instead of being triggered, you should thank sunrunneroldbottels223 for his unbiased, factual account.. But liberal cities like LA and San Francisco (and New York, DC, Baltimore, Chicago, etc.) are today a hellhole. Crime, inflation, homeless, illegals. Liberals love to spread the blame to Republicans, but these cities have been liberal run for 50 years. They can clean them up (like when Newsom had the leader of China visit recently) but the rest of the time, it's a dirty, dangerous place. California was safe, clean and enjoyable when Ronald Reagan was governor. Prices at the grocery store and gas station, and used cars, were half the price just 3 short years ago when Trump was in office. I don't think 20 somethings are spoiled ones, but they're being lied to by our media.
