Total Rubbish is a gritty look at Glasgow’s waste management saga since '74. The film feels raw, giving you a real sense of the physicality of waste collection. You see the guys on the frontline, and it’s not just their work but their lives, their struggles, and often their humor that come through. The pacing can be a bit uneven, sometimes dragging, but it mirrors the monotony of the job. It’s an eye-opener on the environmental issues we face, all while showing the human side of those who deal with the aftermath of our consumption. The practical effects of waste piles speak volumes; they’re almost characters in their own right. It’s distinctive in its honest portrayal, not sugarcoated, just real.
