Every week we pile our rubbish out on the pavement. We go to work
and when we return it’s gone. Like magic! The reality is anything
but, of course. Trashed, Derf Backderf’s follow-up to the
critically acclaimed, award-winning national bestseller My Friend
Dahmer, is a working man’s epic. An ode to the crap job of all
crap jobs—but anyone who has ever been trapped in a soul-sucking
gig can relate to this tale. Trashed takes place after Derf
graduates high school, when he and his childhood pals find
themselves working as garbagemen in their Midwestern hometown.
Together they clean the streets of pile after pile of stinking
garbage, overcoming the unique difficulties of each season and
battling small-town bureaucrats and nuisances, all while trying to
decide what they want to do with their lives. Interspersed are
non-fiction pages that detail the history of trash, the staggering
volume of garbage that is produced every day, the nuts and bolts of
how our trash is disposed of beyond curbside recycling and what
happens to it once it’s removed from our houses, our streets and
our office buildings. Inspired by Derf’s own experiences, Trashed
(like My Friend Dahmer) is a hilarious, stomach-churning, in-depth
examination of this vast, unknown world, taking readers to a place
they have never been before, in a way that only Derf, and comics,
can.
