1935" Garbage Day in Trenton

Back in 1935 when this photo was taken, Garbage collection differed somewhat from the hi tech auto loading trash trucks. On garbage pickup day, garbage was loaded on the truck, and another truck came by to pick up the buckets of ashes from mom and pop's coal burning furnace. I can't see the grilles on those brand spanking new Trenton garbage trucks, but I would bet they were "Internationals."
