I live in a private estate at West Coast and have noticed that household garbage is removed every day, including Sunday.

The workers who do this appear to be the same through the week. 

If this is true, then such front-line workers do not have a rest day in the week, whereas others do.

Is this fair to them or are there compensation incentives to have them work seven days a week? 

Building on this observation, one may ask if there are similar situations in other sectors where front-line or migrant workers have to work throughout the week.

Is this an issue that the Ministry of Manpower should look into, since it affects working terms, and workers' welfare and rights?

In some places overseas, garbage removal is done only several times a week or even once a week.

Do our households, especially those in private estates, have such large amounts of garbage that warrant daily removal?
