* A variant in ''WesternAnimation/TheodoreTugboat''; Guysborough is an ill-tempered garbage barge who is rude to everyone he meets, but is responsible for keeping the Big Harbor clean and free of garbage. In "Guysborough's Garbage", when the tugboats tell Canso, a visiting ship, that they're lucky to have a clean harbor, Guysborough overhears and [[JerkassHasAPoint points out to Jasper the Junk Dock that without him, the garbage will pile up]]. Just to prove his point, he refuses to clean up the garbage when he feels unappreciated by Theodore and his friends.

* Even ''Series/SesameStreet'' had [[Recap/SesameStreetE256 an episode]] where the local sanitation union is on strike and refuse hasn't been collected in some time. Gordon and Susan help explain the basics of what a strike is to viewers and that the two sides need to reach an agreement before the refuse collectors agree to go back to work. The two then discuss a plan with their neighbors to help solve the issue of what to do with the refuse in the meantime.

* ''Series/FraggleRock'': In Outer Space, it's the start of the first holiday weekend at the Captain's Inn, where Doc is part-time manager.
