I found this 1950s vintage photo of a DPW garbage truck (a.k.a. “honey wagon”) in an MIT collection. There used to be separate food waste, i.e. garbage, collection back then. As one native Cantabrigian commented, “I remember the simple pleasures of youth sitting with my grandfather on the front porch on garbage pick up day on a hot summer’s day. The pungent smell would wrap the entire neighborhood and every fly was on escort duty above the truck.” Keep Cambridge Clean!
