Description
A driver takes a test to qualify for driver of the City's new rubbish truck that will handle combustible rubbish. Shown is one part of the five part test--and is called the slalom course--from the skiing competition of the same name. The prospective drivers do a Figure 8 course around the three garbage cans--forwards then have to back around the same Course. As you can see by the dented cans, many drivers have missed. Photo dated: April 3, 1957.
