yeah this is pretty real, especially with recycling where there's more likely to be human intervention in processing that stream. I knew someone who worked in one of those places. It was a "here's some inadequate PPE but the job is unachievable if you actually wear it all, you'll get used to all the broken glass and needles" situation
